Art and Culture of the Plains and Prairie Indians

Sharyn Brooks Katzman

Paintings of Native Americans by early expedition artists and the work of Indians themselves introduce the art and culture of the people who gave their names to Missouri and Kansas. Sharyn's demonstration of traditional leather bead-working is enhanced by hands-on examination of tools and supplies. Students learn to create a Winter Count, a pictorial way many Native Americans told the history of their group. Emphasis is placed on the continuity of Indian culture to the present day.
