This volume brings together papers relating to the indigenous arts of northeastern North America, ranging from eighteenth-century British and German collecting to contemporary museum representations and Haudenosaunee art. Most of them were originally presented at the conference Native Art of the North American Woodlands held in February 1999 at the Museum of Mankind (British Museum) in London.
