Product Description
Between the 1870s and 1950s collectors vigorously pursued the artifacts of Native American groups. Setting out to preserve what they thought was a vanishing culture, they amassed by means both proper and questionable ethnographic and archaeological collections amounting to well over one million objects. Many founded museums throughout North America that were meant to educate the public about Native American skills, practices, and beliefs. The contributors to Collecting Native America examine the motivations and methods of eleven collectors who devoted their lives and fortunes to acquiring these artifacts and opening museums.
