Summary: First Peoples, First Contacts
Comment: In general I felt the book was a very patch account of Native American people which was, afterall, its stated subject matter. It fails for one thing, at least within the written text itself, to give proper attention to the extreme diversity of that population. This is in large part due to the fact that the starting point of the work is the North American collections of the British Museum, which are necessarily finite and somewhat random, having more to do with the whims of the early collectors than to the conscious choices of curators, especially in the case of the earliest material. The photo illustrations of this collection, however, are worth the price of the book. Some of the artwork is priceless and irreplaceable. Of interest too is the material on modern Native American artists still working within the cultural contexts, media and traditions of their ancestors.
