Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica: Bone-carving, shellwork, masks, instruments, and other arts
Native North American ethnography in European collections
Objects of Native North American origin have entered European collections since the sixteenth century and to this day remain important documents of historical ethnography. Owing to their dispersal to institutions that often lack the expertise required for their proper assessment, and also to the fragmented nature of the available literature in various languages, they have yet to receive the full attention they deserve. The present overview summar…
Pride and Prejudice
The Pocahontas-Smith-Rolfe story has all the distinctive features of an American origin myth. Of much significance is the era when what had been a colorful local story achieved nationwide popularity. The mythopoeic treatment of the Pocahontas-Rolfe episode confirmed later American intentions to include native peoples in their Melting Pot ideology and policies—to solve the Indian problem by fusing the latter's identity with their own. The actual e…
The people of Calicut: Objects, texts, and images in the Age of Proto-Ethnography
Some early sixteenth-century works by artists from southern Germany (Albrecht Dürer, Hans Burgkmair, Albrecht Altdorfer, Jörg Breu) representing the 'people of Calicut' (which was then supposed to be accessible from Europe both in an eastward and westward direction) are explored in terms of their combination of images from South Asia and artifacts from Brazil. This is placed in the context of the methodologies developed during this period for col…

Museum Anthropology, vol. 14, no. 3, p. 27, contained the translation of what must be considered a highly garbled account of one of the most unusual stones in the history of anthropology museums: the impending return to the Museum fur Volkerkunde in Berlin of approximately 45,000 objects that were believed to have perished in the final days of World War II. Here is a more accurate and updated version of what has happened
Indians and Europe: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Essays
North American Indians have fired the imaginations of Europeans for the past five hundred years. The Native populations of North America have served a variety of European cultural and emotional needs, ranging from noble savage role models for Old World civilization to a more sympathetic portrayal as subjugated victims of American imperialism. This comprehensive, interdisciplinary collection of essays offers the first in-depth, extended look at th…

Contemporary Native American Visual Arts and Identity
This essay studies the connection between visual arts and Indian identity. The author examines how some of the developments affecting native peoples in the 1970' s and 1980 s have been mirrored in the artistic field, taking into account the fact that the American Indian Renaissance in the last three decades has been marked by an increased awareness of both tribalism and Indianness

Pocahontas: The Life and the Legend
The amazing story and alluring personality of Pocahontas (1595--1617) have endured the enlargement of legend and the distortions of time, as if waiting for Mossiker's skill, scholarship, and sensitivity to reveal Pocahontas as she was. This biography illuminates the dual world within which she struggled to identify herself, and her enormous impact on its leading figures: the first encounters and skirmishes between Indians and Englishmen in 1607; …
