Foreword

“Indian art and culture are inseparable.  Both have become the subject of intense interest as well as the focal point of considerable misunderstanding and misinformation.

“The imitations, fads and misrepresentations plaguing Indian arts and crafts reflect, in a very real sense, what the tribes themselves are undergoing.  It is the author’s fervent hope that the cultures that produce these crafts will be able to continue to survive.

“Perhaps those who have taken the time to learn more about true Indian arts and crafts will want to do the same for Indian cultures.”
