"[The Pueblo Storyteller] is a book that deserves to be read and taken to heart by scholars, collectors, and indeed anyone interested in the Southwest and its rich Indian heritage." —Utah Historical Quarterly "This book is a joy to read, a delight to the eye and to the sensibility of the reader." —Journal of Arizona History "From this insightful work, we learn to appreciate how the art of pottery making and the art of storytelling have been forever intertwined. . . . A rich compendium that deals with oral traditions, cultural history, and the arts, The Pueblo Storyteller is a treasure-house for students of Pueblo culture and history." —Journal of Arizona History "Storyteller dolls of pottery, created by Helen Cordero have swept the Indian art market and are now created by at least 175 potters. This beautiful book covers the antecedents of the form as well as the contemporary scene." —Books of the Southwest

Lovato, Grace Medicine Flower, Preston Monongye, Michale Naranjo, Fritz Scholder, Elizabeth White. Forward by Lloyd Kiva New. "Introducing a totally new concept, this handsome book is a long-needed addition to the body of literature on Indian art. Here at last is a first-hand account, both visual and verbal, of the artists themselves--their lives and their work. These are the artists of today--the individualists--expressing themselves in a deeply personal way, yet retaining all the richness of their cultural heritage. Included are seventeen Southwestern artists who excel in four major media--painting, sculpture, ceramics, and silversmithing. Beautifully conceived and executed, the book contains biographies and photographic portraits of each artist, a personal statement form each and a representative grouping in full color of each artist's work.

Nacimientos is the first comprehensive work on a recent phenomenon among America's Southwest Indian artists - the making of Nativity scenes. This universally popular art form first emerged among Indian artists in the late 1950s. Although only two or three artists were engaged in the craft in the early 1960s, the authors discovered that there are now more than three dozen. The book presents more than thirty color reproductions of these charming and unique creations by seventeen artists representing ten pueblos and tribes. Each scene reflects the customs and culture of the artist's own pueblo or tribe. Included are biographies of each artist represented and a list of twenty additional artists. The introduction traces the 2,000-year-old history of the Nativity scene, as well as its recent development among Indian artists. The Director of the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe said of this book, "...a timely contribution... It is rare that a movement is documented while it is occurring....". Guy and Doris Monthan, a photographer-writer team, have done many articles on American Indian artists. Two recent books published by Northland Press are: Art and Indian Individualists: The Art of Seventeen Contemporary Southwestern Artists and Craftsmen; and R. C. Gorman: The Lithographs, the complete lithographic works from 1966 to 1978 and a biography of this internationally know artist.
