Summary: To the American Indian, there is no distinction between art and life or between what is beautiful and what is functional. Native American women created the clothing, tipis, household implements, and jewelry that defined their world. In Dancing Colors we see how their spiritual involvement and superb artistry transformed the everyday into timeless treasure. Beautiful full-color photographs and fascinating stories present an unforgettable blending of legend and art.
