In the first decade of the 20th century, the Brooklyn Museum set the standard for the acquisition and display of Native American art. In many ways, this book is a tribute to Stewart Culin, the museum's founding Curator of Ethnology, who remains legendary in the field for his enlightened acquisition of thousands of American Indian objects for Brooklyn's collection. The book's layout is excellent, beginning with an analysis and appreciation of the work of Culin and followed by examples and photographs of his early displays at the Brooklyn Museum. Four sections follow in a geographical breakdown of Indian art and the societies that produced it. The excellent Brooklyn collections are mostly in color and join the text in creating a fine catalog of Indian craft that is art. Recommended for academic, museum, and public library collections.
