Description
This book explores the synergetic relationship between rain and the indigenous peoples of the arid and semiarid Southwest. It approaches Native American art by tying it directly to the life force of the tribes of the Southwest. It is a glimpse into the arts of southwestern tribes and a shimmering portrait of the desert's oldest miracle.
