From the Introduction
"This is the most well written book to date covering the history and evolution of American Indian Arts & Crafts. I hope they will be popular in the eyes of the consumer as long as they are handmade by the real native Americans: as long as they are done with the skill of an artisan and not produced in a sweatshop using bad or altered turquoise and thin silver and sloppy workmanship. Fine Indian handcrafts will be in demand as long as the rivers flow—copies and poor quality will disappear—soon."
