Read in 2007.

Concise edition it may be, but it was still very detailed. Looked at jewellery and textiles grouped by cultural region (arctic, subarctic, woodlands, plains, great basin, plateau, northwest coast, california, southwest). I was expecting more precontact and traditional photos, but there was relatively little from before 1900 and a great number of contemporary pieces.
