The dust jacket, now enclosed in a removable mylar sleeve, is complete, bright, and not price-c…lipped. 136 pages. 50 color plates, numerous black & white photographs. Quoted in part from the dust jacket flap: "Colorfully beaded handbags, superbly tanned and decorated deerskin shirts, finely woven baskets, exquisitely beaded and fringed horse trappings - these distinctive Native arts of the Columbia River plateau have been overshadowed in the public eye by the arts of the Northwest Coast, Great Plains, and American Southwest. But Indians in the region where present day Washington, Oregon, and Idaho share boundaries have for centuries combined function and beauty in the items they made for even the most mundane of uses, and their traditional arts are still vital today. This book brings overdue recognition to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Plateau Indians by focusing on the remarkable collection amassed by the late Doris Swayze Bounds, a banker in Hermiston, Oregon, who grew up with and deeply loved Native people and their culture. She was loved in return, and many of the nearly one thousand Plateau items in her collection came to her as gifts from her Indian friends who expressed their respect and affection in their time-honored tradition of gift giving.In five essays, both Native and non-Native experts describe the art styles and the uses and cultural meanings of the items; two others recount Doris Bounds's life, collecting practices, and relationships with Native Americans."
