Reader Reviews
This book includes almost 400 images, but only a few are taken from each of many many North American native cultures. Although they are loosely grouped together by region, the images from any one tribe or nation are scattered randomly throughout that section. Therefore, it is hard to find which images go together. The images do show the diversity of the Native American cultures, but I would have preferred that the book be organized by specific tribe/nation or by chronology. On the plus side, each image is numbered, so that it can be easily found on the accompanying CD-ROM. The images are from the following Native American tribes and cultures: Acoma, Alabama, Arapaho, Athapascan, Aztec, Bella Bella, Bella Coola, Blackfoot, Casa Grandes, Cheyenne, Chipewyan, Choctaw, Cochiti, Comanche, Cherokee, Chitimacha, Cree, Creek, Crow, Dakota Sioux, Dene, Haida, Hawikuh, Hidatsa, Hopi, Huichol, Inuit, Iriquois, Laguna, Kaska, Kwakiutl, Maidu, Makah, Malecite, Maya, Menominee, Mescalero Apache, Mestizo, Micmac, Mimbres, Mixtec, Mohawk (Iriquois), Mohegan, Montagnais, Nahua, Naskapi, Navajo, Nez Perce, Ojibway, Onondaga (Iriquois), Otomi, Papago, Passamaquoddy, Pima, Penobscot, Potowatomi, Pueblo, Salish, San Ildefonso, Santo Domingo, Sarcee, Sauk Fox, Seminole, Shoshone, Sioux, Slavey, Tesuque, Tinne, Tlingit, Toltec, Tsia, Tsimshian, Ute, Winnebago, Yuchi, Yurok, Zapotec, and Zuni. For some of these tribes or nations, there may be as little as one image - such as for the Chitimacha; for others, there may be several - such as the Hopi. If you are looking for Aztec, Olmec, Mayan, Mixtec, or Zapotec images, I would recommend a different book from Dover instead, called "Ancient Mexican Designs" (ISBN: 0486995283). Interestingly, though, the book "Ancient Mexican Designs" does not include any Huichol, Mestizo, or Toltec images, as does "North American Indian Motifs". The book delivers exactly what it promised, so normally I would give it 5 stars. However, because the images are not well-organized and because the originating culture is not identified for all of the images, I have downgraded my rating to a 4.
