Slipping away from us in these times of the homogenization of culture are the traditions of older societies, some of them dating from 9000 B.C., who understood and were in tune with the changing vistas of the North American continent. Practical, yet with an eye for beauty, these peoples clothed themselves in a vast array of styles that will be forgotten unless preserved. The Encyclopedia of American Indian Costume offers complete descriptions and cultural contexts of the dress and ornamentation of the many nations that have shared this continent. The book is divided into ten cultural regions, with each chapter giving an overview of the regional clothing. Tribal information includes men's and women's basic dress, footwear, outerwear, hair styles, headgear, accessories, jewelry, armor, special costumes, garment decoration, face and body embellishment, and transitional dress after European contact. This beautifully designed book contains more than 150 photographs and illustrations.

Happy to revisit this text in my collection as I continue to expand my art history knowledge of Xicanx art. My copy is even signed by the Chicano art collector of all art collectors, Cheech Marin! I bought the book when his exhibit was touring while I was in graduate school, and the three essays in the front of the text are great along with the focus on Chicana/o painters. A real testament to the need for our imaginations to continue to include the legacy of painters doing the work for decades.
