The statement, "Since the first American museums were developed, many anthropologists ... defined Indians as ethnographic beings who produce cultural artifacts rather than fine art," reflects the attitude that has negatively affected Native American art. Contemporary galleries and museums now are allowing artists of tribal descent to create "with a global, as well as regional and traditional view," to challenge, or change past stereotypes of what Native American art is. The inclusion of artist statements, backgrounds, and art samples is a very informative part of this volume, the first in a projected series. The diversity of medium and art styles portrayed (jewelry, clay, fiber, metal, wood, glass, mixed media) helps readers understand that the artists represented offer progressive and not static forms of art. In her essay, Joanna O. Bigfeather states: "We need to look at the reasons why Native Americans are not included in the major college [art] texts today.... What we find, as far as contemporary Native art is concerned, is a country ... ignorant of the First People and not willing to change." This book is a step in the right direction for changing attitudes about Native American art and for moving away from past anthropological assumptions about art created by Native Americans.
