Book excerpt: Bead embroidery created by the Indigenous peoples of the Columbia River Plateau region of the Pacific Northwest is poorly understood and underappreciated by academia and most aficionados of Indigenous North American art. As a result, the genesis of the three main Plateau beadwork traditions--geometric, floral, and pictorial--is often assigned to outside influences. Historic geometric designs are thought to reproduce the work of Plains-dwelling Crow (Apsáalooke) people. Plateau beadwork with floral motifs is believed to draw its inspiration from decorative items created and worn by Woodlands and Great Lakes people who were employed in the 19th-century Columbia River fur trade. Plateau pictorial beadwork is often considered kitsch or folk art, and many casual observers believe that it was generally made for sale to outsiders. All three assumptions are incorrect.During a lifetime collecting Plateau floral and pictorial beadwork, Walla Walla, Washington, resident Fred L. Mitchell has amassed the premier collection of that material. Over time, he has sought to "trade up" and acquire objects that be believes have maximum visual appeal. His collection has become noteworthy not just because of its size, but also because of its quality and diverse subject matter. This text provides an overview of his encyclopedic collection and it is a basic reference tool for readers who are interested in the interior Pacific Northwest and its history and in Indigenous beadwork as an art form.

Download or read book American Indian Tribes of the Southwest written by Michael G Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-20 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This focuses on the history, costume, and material culture of the native peoples of North America. It was in the Southwest – modern Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of California and other neighboring states – that the first major clashes took place between 16th-century Spanish conquistadors and the indigenous peoples of North America. This history of contact, conflict, and coexistence with first the Spanish, then their Mexican settlers, and finally the Americans, gives a special flavor to the region. Despite nearly 500 years of white settlement and pressure, the traditional cultures of the peoples of the Southwest survive today more strongly than in any other region. The best-known clashes between the whites and the Indians of this region are the series of Apache wars, particularly between the early 1860s and the late 1880s. However, there were other important regional campaigns over the centuries – for example, Coronado's battle against the Zuni at Hawikuh in 1540, during his search for the legendary “Seven Cities of Cibola”; the Pueblo Revolt of 1680; and the Taos Revolt of 1847 – and warriors of all of these are described and illustrated in this book.
