    About this ebook

    In this volume, noted illustrator Madeleine Orban-Szontagh renders designs produced by the Indians of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and the western coast of Canada: Nootka, Kwakiutl, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and other groups. More than 270 original designs include stylized plants, birds and animals, abstract borders and repeating patterns, totemic images and symbols, and a host of other decorative elements. These arresting and beautiful Native American images lend themselves to use in a wide range of Indian-related graphic art and craft projects, as well as providing a rich source of design inspiration.
