The Plains Indians of North America have a long tradition of chronicling their lives pictorially, but in the mid-19th century, as a result of increased contact with soldiers and settlers moving west, they acquired a new medium for their visual histories. Using pen, pencil and watercolour, they began to draw in the bound ledgers commonly used for inventory by traders and military officers. Serving as the catalogue for a travelling exhibition starting at The Drawing Center in New York City, this book examines the entire range and history of the drawings made by Lakota, Cheyenne, Kiowa and Arapaho during the reservation era. It presents in colour about 150 drawings by 36 different artists, accompanied by individual commentaries and eight essays, together with statements by four contemporary American Indian artists.
