Splendor in the Glass
|
|
 “You’re turning, turning. Softly. Okay, stop. Blow. Stand by in three, two, one. Torch it!”
Dancing?
Cooking? No, but to artists such as Tony Jojola and his team of
assistants, the art of glass-blowing is as choreographed as a dance and
demands the precision timing of a chef preparing crème brûlée. Native
American glass art

 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.

Alaska Journeys
|
|
 From the dense rain forests and slowly retreating glaciers of the south, to the massive mountain ranges and wide rivers of the interior, to the flat, frozen tundra and icy seas of the extreme north, Alaska is unsurpassed in variety and beauty of scenery. It is also home to some of the planet's most fascinating wildlife, whether your interest is birds, sea mammals or bears. And it is peerless in the diversity and abundance of its Native cultures.

Fire & Ice Totem Pole
|
|
 On August 29, 2001, under blazing-hot sunshine, several hundred invited guests gathered on the grounds of the Pilchuck Glass School near Seattle, Washington to witness the raising of a very special totem pole commissioned to celebrate the roles that artist Dale Chihuly and benefactors John Hauberg and Anne Gould Hauberg played in the founding of this renowned institution. The unique totem pole is the first to combine traditional red cedar with cast, etched and blown glass components, as well the subtle use of neon lighting.

 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. |
