"This wonderful book reflects Susie Fair's years of experience working with Alaska Native artists throughout the state and represents a unique contribution to our understanding of traditional, transitional, and contemporary Alaska Native art." --Nelson Graburn, author of Ethnic and Tourist Arts "Susan Fair's illuminating book is as brilliant and original as she was. She provides a vivid account of the works of Alaska Native artists, bringing to life not only the artworks, but also the artists so often neglected in scholarly studies." --Molly Lee, curator of ethnology, University of Alaska Museum of the North "Gorgeous photos showcase the wealth of works by contemporary Native artists in Alaska. Separate chapters focus on works by Eskimos, Aleuts and Alaska Indians, explaining the cultural references, which influence the traditional works. Explanations are detailed and highly readable for a high school audience, focusing on the purpose of the objects in the traditional societies. This would be a great addition to any high school looking to add titles to their non-Western art collection." --Terri Lent(AASL), library media specialist, Patrick Henry High School.
