Native Americans (Sacred Symbols) Book

Like all of the titles in Thames & Hudson's Sacred Symbols series, Native American is a small book with big ambitions. To most people, American religion began with the Puritanism of the pilgrims, yet long before the pilgrims, numerous branches of native spirituality thrived in all corners of the continent. Native American highlights many of the key ideas and images of these diverse traditions and presents them through vivid photographs of symbolic artwork and sacred places. Others in the Sacred Symbols series are The Maya, The Celts, Ancient Egypt, Tao, and The Buddha.Read More

  • Product Description

    The traditions and folk-memories of the native inhabitants of North America are as rich in symbolism as any body of religion and legend in the world. Here, in this beautiful introduction to the symbolic thought and art of an often heroic struggle for survival, are illustrated and explained the principal icons and ceremonies of the major native peoples--from the smoking of the Sacred Pipe of the Plains Lakota to the intricate design and geometry of Navajo weaving. 80 illustrations, 40 in color.
