Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The University of North Dakota's history is irreversibly intertwined with the difficult history of the Plains Indians who roamed the regions of North and South Dakota. Founded in 1883, the University has been collecting Native American art and artefacts for more than a century. With great respect of how the Native Americans used and cherished these objects, this catalogue documents this extraordinary collection of clothing, headdresses, and ceremonial objects, many of which incorporate exquisite bead and quill work. Many objects presented in this publication were pieces their Native American owners did not consider objects of art, but instead viewed them as symbols of status, identity, or ceremony. Often pieces were a connection between the past and future, and handed down from one generation to the next. The essays that accompany this collection examine the history of each piece and engage in the discussion of the traditions and the future of Native American art.

"The book examines how The University of North Dakota's collection of Native North American Art is understood and appreciated within its campus setting. As art collections are best understood within the context of historical trends of collecting, the book's authors consider significant changes that have affected the philosophy behind how and why collections of Native American art should be cared for, researched, and displayed. Objects made by Native North Americans, which are re-contextualized within an academic environment, are examined in ways that allow concepts embodied within them to reinforce a sense of greatercultural understanding." "Lavishly illustrated with historical as well as contemporary Native artwork, the publication's design and layout are culturally driven using a numerical scheme based on sacred geometry that has special significance within many Native cultures. An ordered grid is used to construct the visual form and to interject a sense of harmony and balance. Special efforts were taken to respectfully document sacred ceremonial objects in an attempt to be responsive to their content, form, and function."--BOOK JACKET.
