From petroglyphs to modern Native American art, decorative designs have played an important role in expressing the ideas and beliefs of those who have made the American Southwest their home for thousands of years. The prehistoric Hohokam and Mimbres people used design motifs in rock art and pottery while the present day Hopi and Navajo use them in the arts and crafts of today. While many of the symbols and patterns found on pottery, basketry, rugs and jewelry have histories and meanings assigned to them, many do not. Southwest Indian Designs answers some of the more commonly asked questions and provides valuable insights into those designs that do not have specific meanings. Included are symbols and explanations of Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, Tewa, Acoma, Pueblo, Mimbres, and Hohokam designs. Mark Bahti has re-created close to 200 symbols and their variations making this an inexpensive, yet invaluable guide to those interested in the art, history and culture of the Native Americans of the Southwest. -- Midwest Book Review
