Exploring the similarities between Native American cultures of the north and south, this heavily illustrated volume illuminates their lives, revealing how these people worked with nature and created and used various practical and decorative objects that today are considered great works of art. Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter links previously unpublished archives, 17th-century European engravings, artwork by George Catlin, photographs by Edward S. Curtis, the Karel Kupka collection of Aboriginal paintings, and detailed accounts of Claude Levi-Strauss's expeditions in Amazonia and Paul-Émile Victor's journeys in the Arctic to provide a wide-ranging look at the history and art of lost American cultures.
