DEDICATION
To all of the Woodland Indian people whose masterful skills and insightful vision created the beautiful expressive works discussed herein.
Thank you for your willingness to share your work and its meaning, your fervor to perpetuate the traditions, and your patience to acquaint me, an ignorant outsider, with your perspectives and ways. The Woodland ways embody an approach to art from which all artists can benefit and a spirit everyone needs to understand.
