The Tlingit Indians of the Northwest Coast carved interior house posts, portal entrances and free standing totem poles with crests of animals, sea creatures, birds, and legendary and human figures, successfully combining symbolism and realism. This book examines the social and artistic relevance of the Tlingit carvings and relates many of the fascinating North American Indian legends upon which some of the carvings are based.

5.0 out of 5 stars Considerable depth concerning fascinating legends, January 14, 2004

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tlingit Art: Totem Poles & Art of the Alaskan Indians (Paperback)

Tlingit mother Maria Bolanz and her daughter Gloria C. Williams collaborate to present Tlingit Art: Totem Poles & Art Of The Alaskan Indians, a compelling and informative social, cultural, and aesthetic examination of Tlingit Native American totem poles, carvings, and other artworks. Black-and-white photographs and illustrations highlight the thoughtful and "reader friendly" text which goes into considerable depth concerning the fascinating legends that form the basis of some of the carvings. Tlingit Art is an excellent and highly recommended contribution to Native American art history reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
