Offering small tastes from many dishes, this introductory survey touches first on the history and geography of North America and then on the art of the peoples of the various regions: arctic and subarctic, northwest seaboard, great plains, plateau, great basin, southwest, eastern woodlands, and southeast. The volume's primary value is its tantalizing display of some splendid examples of works from various museums and archives. The lack of both index and bibliography is unfortunate.
