Written by Richard, C.\u003cbr\u003eSchneider, Emeritus Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, it\u003cbr\u003econtains highly detailed information and explanations of indigenous crafts such as\u003cbr\u003etanning buckskin and furs, rawhide-making, several types of basketry, pottery, and\u003cbr\u003emany others. Fifty pages of beadwork alone are included. Also included are instructions\u003cbr\u003efor making Indian tools such as the crooked knife, primitive drills, and stone axes.\u003cbr\u003eLittle-known crafts such as arrowhead flaking, porcupine-quill embroidery, and\u003cbr\u003ebirch-bark canoe building are completely discussed. Hundreds of line drawings by the\u003cbr\u003eauthor amplify the well-written text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe crafts chosen for this volume are primarily those of the Woodland peoples of\u003cbr\u003ethe vicinity of the Great Lakes, but some media are universal on the North American\u003cbr\u003econtinent. The intent of the book is to enable today’s student to learn about these\u003cbr\u003etraditional and modern techniques, some of which have almost been lost to modern\u003cbr\u003epeople, and others of which have been adapted and altered into contemporary lore.\u003cbr\u003eNot all native crafts can be included in any one volume; those which have been\u003cbr\u003eselected are based on the author’s personal experiences, and thus have been explained\u003cbr\u003eas thoroughly as possible. The language of the text is that of a layman, but details and\u003cbr\u003einsights for the advanced crafter are added as well as a useful bibliography for each\u003cbr\u003emedium, for those who seek additional sources of information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1972, 325 pages, 7 by 9 format, 330 illustrations.
