Native American Culture Art
The second resource that I found was from a book called Native American Culture: Arts and Crafts by Liz Sonneborn. The book specified the different styles of art that Native Americans made from all over the United States. The book explains how the Native Americans used art in a way to portray their worship of nature. Art was used by tribes as a way to state what tribe or family was more powerful through their art being given away during potlatches and winter ceremonies.

    The Jael Queen Analysis

    Native American Art is the visual works crafted by native people of North America, starting after their arrival on the continent thousands of years ago and continuing until the present. These works may be painted, carved, woven, sewn, or built, and can incorporate such materials as feathers, porcupine quills, tree bark, animal skins and hair, and wood. They encompass a variety of objects, including clothing and jewelry, blankets and rugs, masks, totem poles, baskets, and bowls. Today, some Native American artists produce mainstream contemporary art—paintings on canvas, photographs, and performance art—while others continue to make art based on long-standing traditions. My critique is of the Jael Queen. The artist is a member of the Eastern…

    Art and Capstone Checkpoint

    * Where I live I have to say art is not really a big part of our town. There is one place called Liz Tech that does make their hand mad jewelry and other crafts. Other than that where they are on their block we do not have a lot of art threw out. What we have I would call is a lot of natural art, meaning not manmade, or handmade. It is made from nature. Items that have formed over time from nature itself. Such as rocks falling, the way tress are bent and the way the leaves fall where people come just to take photos of it. Also we do have some older buildings around that have a great art look about them. We really do not have art houses or anything like that. What we do have is where the home town of late Artists Frank Frezzta is. Was a well knowed all over the world.…

    Southwest Indian Art Research Paper

    An important element of Southwest Indian art is the exchange in culture and materials. The Southwest Indians lived in a time of great trade ranging from the east to west coasts, fewer but larger villages dotted present day Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. Southwest artists are known for their pottery, textiles, and sand paintings. The Late Classic Navajo Chiefs Blanket from 1885 shows the cross cultural impacts that serve as a large theme in Southwest Indian art. The Navajo learned many practices from the Pueblo such as weaving, using the loom, and sand paintings. The materials in the blanket show cross-cultural influences from the wool used in the blanket were spun from sheep from the Spanish and the dyes came from Indian traders.…

    Lakota Culture During the 19th Century

    The Lakota Indians had the sad and unfortunate luck of becoming personally acquainted with the westward thrust of American development when the Americans’ attitudes toward Indians had grown cynical and cruel. This interaction caused the Lakota culture to change a great deal during the nineteenth century. Horses and guns brought about a dramatic change in the Lakota’s culture. They “enabled them to seize and defend their rich hunting grounds, to follow the great migrating herds of buffalo that shaped their distinctive way of life, and by the middle of the nineteenth century to evolve into the proud and powerful monarchs of the northern Great Plains (R6).” They acquired their first horses and guns, along with the knowledge of how to handle them, from the Americans they came in contact and traded with. The horses allowed the Lakota much greater mobility, which allowed them to hunt more effectively as well as make warfare more prevalent among the tribes.…

    Iroquois’ culture and way of life resembles “real world” realities. The Iroquois’ attitudes towards nature are sincere. Myths like these elaborate and confine with the conflict between the differences and similarities of the world. For example in nature there are animals that rely on other species to live. If a species were to extinguish, other species would soon die…

    The Cultural Dilemma of Native Americans

    In this painting by George Catlin titled “Assinneboine Chief before and after Civilization” it shows a very proud Assinneboine Chief standing straight and proud. His clothing expresses his Indian culture as he is dressed in leggings and shirt made of mountain goat skin, and finished with a pictured robe of buffalo hide over his right shoulder. Moccasins covered his feet and his tribal headdress decorated his head allowing his long hair to blend with the feathers of his headdress. In his left hand is his long pipe which he would smoke with those with whom he would want to make peace. The background which is painted in a lighter hue then the opposite side of the painting reveals a dirt road which leads to the capitol building in Washington, suggesting that the Chief is traveling to there with peaceful intentions. The only green in the painting is the landscape surrounding the Capitol building. Could this be to show the wealth of those who lived there, to depict that the grass may be greener on the other side?…

    Color In Native American Culture

    Interestingly enough, color was used as a symbol to indicate that the memory of the Native Americans lived on into the present-day. For instance, Watson, the Overlook’s custodian, showed Jack the boiler’s mechanics. As he pointed out the functionality of the boiler, he stated that, “ ‘Yellow is the west wing’ ” (King 6, 25, 26). Yellow is the color of remembrance, which demonstrated that the Overlook’s Presidential Suite was potent with memories of the past that wanted to make themselves known to Danny (King 6, 25, 26, 133, 134). King utilized color as an effective motif when he described the west wing of the Overlook.…

    Native American Individuality

    This paper addresses a question that for some reason has received relatively less attention of psychologists. The question relates to how do persons who enter an organization with a different cultural mindset deal with the roles and fellow colleagues in work settings (in this case, academic work setting) of a diametrically different mindset. To my knowledge, studies on acculturation too have left this question unanswered, although, their major focus has been on contacts between cultures. It is in this context that I find this study quite welcome. The study focuses on the tribal world view of the Native American academics which is characterized…

    Native American Music

    Native American Music

    As we all know Native American music is heavily influenced by many instruments, but the rattles, drums and the flute are regarded as the instruments that are considered the most important. The piece of music I listened to is titled, “Native America Spiritual Song”. The music for this piece is very mellow and relaxing, at certain points this piece literally gave me goose bumps. In the beginning, the three main instruments that I heard are the drums, rattles and the flute. Also, in the beginning you can hear a male that says something. I believe it's in a native language, but it could be a verse they say when they are dancing. The overall flow of the song is very smooth, and the beat is very steady. There are no as they call it “up and downs” in this piece. After listening to the song multiple times I realized the song is very repetitive. You can say that the song is on a loop because the beat and what the guy was saying in the beginning is the same later on into the song. Before listening to this music piece, I didn't expect to hear this particular instrument which I believe is called the Native American Maschine. Before the song repeats itself I believe the songs pitches are in a ascending order. A piece like this is very hard to describe because to fully experience what this song is all about a person has to listen to it through their own ears. In my opinion it is just breathtaking!…

    American Indian Smithsonian Museum

    The second floor of National Museum of the American Indian contains many interesting exhibits that tell stories of American Indians, such as the livelihood of Native Americans in the present time and the culture of American Indians. There are many items that are related to American Indians’ lives in those exhibits. However, the author of this essay is interested in The American Indian which is the name of an oil painting that has been depicted in one of those exhibits, Our Live. This oil painting was painted on linen in 1970 by Fritz Scholder who was the renowned Native American artist of the 20th century. The painting depicts an American Indian man who beautifies his long black hair with a feather and holds a pipe tomahawk in front of the yellow and brown background. Additionally, the man covers the American flag over his body.…

    Native American Reflection

    Christopher sees himself as a logical and curious person, he also thinks that he is ahead of mostly everybody in his class. As well as he is so determined to prove that he is not as low as his peers, he proved it by scoring a perfect score on his math exam. This would help his grade and help him get into the best colleges. He deals with the fact that he’s different than other people by performing his best so he can excel and achieve more. Even though he knows that he is a little different than everybody else, he still tries to become significant. For example a time when Christopher realized he was different was in chapter 3. It states “I kept the piece of paper in my pocket and took it out when I didn’t understand what someone was saying.” This is when Siobhan drew him a bunch of different facial expressions. It was difficult for him to realize what people were feeling , so he either asked them what they were feeling or just walked away. This shows he is different.…
