A fresh exploration of Native American art that positions the work within the broader context of North American art history This landmark publication presents Native American art within the broader context of American art history, through an examination of notable works from a major private collection. The insightful texts provide a new evaluation of the art, culture, and daily life of numerous North American tribes, including Acoma, Apache, Cheyenne, Creek, Crow, Hopi-Twea, Kiowa, Lakota, Pomo, Seneca, Seminole, Tlingit, and Zuni, among others. The works featured in this lavish volume span centuries, from the period prior to contact with European settlers through the early 20th century, and represent the extensive artistic achievements of culturally distinct indigenous peoples. Both known and unrecorded makers’ innovative visions are manifest in a wide variety of aesthetic forms and media—from painting, sculpture, and drawing to costume, ceramics, and baskets. Challenging traditional presentations of American Indian art, this publication situates and analyzes them alongside other North American artistic practices.

These Guardians are chosen by an all-powerful being called the Light and are each connected to a different celestial body, granting them special powers to help in their assigned task.However, when the last Ruler died, the Light mysteriously did not choose a successor; and since the Ruler was connected to the sun, the sun itself stopped shining as well, plunging Luminous into a Long Night that has lasted nine years.During this time, a scientist named Saul Leos took the throne by force and is now leading a campaign to abandon the Light.

In this book, the author tells his story of his experiences in his younger life of becoming an entrepreneur. His story is to make you aware that you are an entrepreneur. There's no school that will help you uncover your true potentials. He hopes his experiences will open your eyes early in life for you to see your entrepreneur skills. I titled this book The Hidden Entrepreneur Within Me because some people are just like I was. Some people have a burning desire within of owning their own business and not really knowing what to do about the feeling or even why this feeling is there. They know that having the slave mentality of working from 9 to 5 at a job until they reach retirement is not the world they want. The difference with me is that I was an entrepreneur and just didn't know it. So, I decided to reveal my life story through my book to help you find out where you are in your life so you can see the signs that you, too, may be an entrepreneur
this is a book of my personal poetry from my life experiences growing up
