The Indian crafts of William & Mary Commanda / David Gidmark.

Gidmark, David. (Author).

Summary:

For all who are intrigued by the beauty of Indian crafts, this book is a helpful guide to their history, their cultural significance, and the skills used in crating them. The book begins with an introduction to the Algonquin Nation, the Commanda family, and their heritage of beautiful handiwork. Next come easy-to-follow instruction and useful step-by-step photos on a number of projects; a highlight is the section on creating a birch-bark canoe, with advice on every step from selecting the perfect birch tree to applying the final spruce-gum sealing.
