“A legacy is a gift from an ancestor, something handed down across time and space, and through the generations.  It draws its significance from how and by whom it was created and acquired, and why it was preserved and passed on.  Any legacy changes over time, taking on new meanings with each new context and each succeeding generation.

“The pieces featured in this book are held in the collections of the Indian Arts Research Center at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  They represent the work of Native American artisans who for centuries have fashioned objects that were both utilitarian and beautiful. They also represent a legacy that reflects the skills, traditions, and enthusiasm of the items’ makers, their descendants, their users, their collectors, and their admirers.”
