Summary: Review by Mitchell Green:
There are many books on the various Indian tribes of North America. In this one, Downs goes into the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes. They were recognized as separate tribes in 1962. The book talks about the evolution of the tribal dress and its changes. The technique and significance of the intricate, colorful patchwork cloth used for making garments is described as well as fingerweaving, beadwork and silverwork for jewelry, pottery for cooking and storing food, basketry and doll-making. The book also explains how the men take care of woodcarving and all village construction. While some of the information found here might be repeated elsewhere, it is still a very detailed book.
