Summary:

The abundant resources of the Northwest Coast allowed the Native Americans living there the opportunity to develop a sophisticated society in which art played a large part. Even the most utilitarian object was crafted with an eye to beauty. The totem poles, ceremonial masks, dance blankets, dugout canoes, and other unique items crafted by the more than two dozen tribes who lived there reflect both the imagination of the individual and the unity of the Northwest Coast vision. With more than 130 color photographs, Visions of the North explores the natural beauty of the region and the rich artistic heritage of its people. The text offers a basic introduction to the Northwest Coast culture, past and present, and a lively look at the potlatch, a central event in the world of each tribe. Visions of the North is perfect for anyone interested in the Northwest as well as for collectors of this increasingly popular type of Native American art. It also serves as an evocative reminder, for the visitor, of the region's beauty and bounty.
