 For many Native artisans, it was the memory of a grandmother’s deftly moving fingers, or a grandfather’s quiet words, that stirred up a powerful desire to learn and carry on an ancient skill perhaps in danger of being lost to the modern world. In some cases, the effort of a single artist—who taught someone else, who then taught someone else—has revived and preserved important ancient Native crafts.

 ON THE COVER
Wayne Price (Tlingit) of Haines, Alaska holds one of the traditional
small paddles once used by hunters to sneak up on their prey that Price
fashions today as a fine arts item—just one of the many handmade and
once obscure crafts making a comeback through the efforts of Native
artisans throughout the continent.

Actress Irene Beddard
|
|
 They say good things come in small packages. Native actress Irene Bedard surely qualifies. Though small in stature, Bedard possesses a big personality, exudes personal warmth and radiates a wealth of goodwill. With her infectious giggle and head-turning looks, one can see why she has been wooing film fans and Hollywood hitters since her 1993 debut movie role in Squanto: A Warrior's Tale.

 ON THE COVER
The
face of 21st century Native America is both old and new-a testament to
the tenacity and vibrant creativity of those who originally inhabited
the Western Hemisphere. In so many ways, Randy'L He-dow Teton
(Shoshone-Bannock/Cree) represents the convergence of past, present and
future. Her likeness appears on the new $1 U.S. coin released last
month bearing the depiction of 19th century Lemhi Shoshone heroine
Sacagawea, who led explorers Lewis & Clark into the West.Click on "Full Story" to view the complete Table of Contents. |
