The objects come from 200 different tribal groups from North, Central, and South America, dating from 3200 B.C. to the 20th century. Among the objects on view are Kiowa, Osage, and Yuma cradleboards; Sioux and Comanche dresses; and Potawatomi, Seminole, and Huichol dolls." ; "In [this] memorable book, Indian people use words, actions, and artifacts to represent themselves as fully human, free at last from the soul-cramping and spirit-reducing tests of authenticity and purity."-The New York Times Book Review; For the first Americans, a record of the past is written in the objects that were a part of daily life. Values, traditions, and beliefs are embodied in works of Native creativity, from children's toys to leaders' war shirts, and from Arctic kayaks to masks made by the people of Tierra del Fuego. Using objects from the museum's collection, historical photographs, and the voices of Native Americans past and present, Creation's Journey reawakens us to ways of life and thought that once prevailed in the Americas, and that are still observed in many Native homes and communities." ; FINE/FINE.
