This book is designed to introduce people to the artists and to their fine art pottery. Featuring 450 illustrations of artist portraits, historic village scenes, authentic signatures and hallmarks, pottery making and hundreds of pots, the volume profiles 500 artists over the past two centuries. The first three chapters address three main questions: "Who are the Hopi-Tewa people?" "How do we evaluate Hopi-Tewa pottery?" "How is Hopi-Tewa pottery made?" The center of the book is filled with 500 biographies, arranged alphabetically for easy reference. The survey collected information in 25 fields, including the artist's culture, language, village, clan, active years, types of artwork, lifespan, family, education, teachers, students, awards, demonstrations, exhibitions, collections, techniques, materials, favorite designs, galleries, publications, and twenty years of auction records. Many completed a personal statement, "I enjoy creating artwork, because..." Following the biographies are family tree charts, hallmarks and signatures, as well as special sections on pottery types and styles, 100 designs and symbols, the language of the potters in Hopi, Tewa, and English, and an extensive bibliography.

American Indian Jewelry I: 1200 Artist Biographies (American Indian Art Series)

SUBJECT: U.S. Constitution, First Amendment, Religion, Government, U.S. History, Biography, and Law. In the American tradition of historical narratives, this book traces the lives of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison with emphasis on their religious views and personal expressions of faith. They held strong religious beliefs as evidenced by their personal papers found in the Library of Congress, National Archives, and other libraries. These documents prove that the early American founders were united on six major issues: 1. Freedom of Religion is a fundamental right. 2. No one, especially government officials, should interfere with the free exercise of religion. 3. There should not be one official religion of the United States. 4. Federal tax dollars should not be allocated to favored churches and religious groups. 5. Different religions from around the world should be respected. 6. The separation of Church &amp; State should be maintained. This book documents the origins of religious freedom in America, a topic of importance to people around the world.
