The story of the Native peoples of the Great Plains--including the
Arapaho, Cheyenne, Lakota, Shoshone, Blackfeet, Kiowa, Pawnee,
Arikara, Gros Ventre, Assiniboine, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Crow
tribes-- is integral to the history and heritage of the American
West. These buffalo-hunting and horticultural people once dominated
the vast open region of the Great Plains, west of the Mississippi
River and east of the Rocky Mountains, that stretches from
present-day Canada to Texas. The Native people of the Plains found
this vast, harsh land rich in resources, with tall grass prairies
abundant with herds of buffalo and other grazing animals and
fertile river valleys that supported farming. Economic practices
were intertwined with spiritual ceremonial activities and core
beliefs about the people's relationships to the land, sky, and
universe. The magnificent arts of Plains Indian people also had
such spiritual underpinnings, which, together with their historical
and cultural contexts, can provide greater insight into and
appreciation of their tribal significances. Lavishly illustrated
with more than 300 images of objects from traditional feather
bonnets to war shirts, bear claw necklaces, pipe tomahawks,
beadwork, and quillwork, as well as archival photographs of
historical events and individuals and photographs of contemporary
Native life, Memory and Vision is a comprehensive examination of
the environments and historic forces that forged these cultures,
and a celebration of their ongoing presence in our national
society.
