$ 18.95	Cultures and Ethnicities: Native American Indian Hopi Kachina Dolls by: Harold Colton Book Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. A Hopi Indian will tell you that a kachina is a supernatural being who is impersonated by a man wearing a mask. Small wooden dolls carved in the likenesses of the various kachinas are used to help teach Hopi children the tribal religion and traditions. Each child receives a doll made especially for him by his male relatives. He treasures the doll and studies it so that he can learn to recognize and respect the host of spirit kachinas that people the Hopi world. Kachinas are difficult to classify because different Hopi pueblos have different ideas about their appearance and their functions. The late Dr. Harold S. Colton identified 266 different kinds of kachina dolls, and in this book he describes the meaning, the making, and the principal features of all of them. Each type of doll is pictured in a simplified line drawing.

Each doll, from the simplest toy made of sticks and cloth scraps to the exquisitely dressed replica of a woman in her finest regalia, offers a glimpse into a particular cultural world, like that of the Navajo, Cree, or Tapirape--and into the mind of an individual maker, perhaps a grandmother reflecting on the past, a child fashioning a plaything, or an artist creating a gallery piece. The great variety of form and materials--such as walrus tusk ivory, cornhusks, and beeswax embellished with the brilliantly colored feathers of tropical birds--reflects the vibrancy and range of Native American lifeways.

$ 65.00	Cultures and Ethnicities: Hopi Katsina 1,600 Artist Biographies by: Gregory Schaaf Book Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. The Center for Indigenous Arts & Cultures is proud to present the seventh volume in our series. Each book is organized alphabetically, so readers can look up a particular artist in seconds. The purpose of the series is to introduce the public to American Indian artists and to honor them for their "fine arts. This volume profiles over 1,600 Hopi Katsina carvers from 1840 to the present. Although Katsina dolls began to be signed in the 1930s, earlier carvers were identified from family tree charts, historic documents and oral history interviews with direct descendants. This book was designed to make the vast body of research readily available. Hopi Katsina dolls are traditionally small wooden figures, hand-carved from cottonwood roots and painted with natural earth pigments. The term Katsina has three translations: one of more than 300 spiritual beings; a society of spiritual singers and dancers; and small wooden figures also called Tihu. The original purpose of Katsina dolls is to educate children about their ancestral religious traditions stretching back over a thousand years ago. Today, most Hopi Katsina carvers live around three mesas in northern Arizona about a hundred miles from the Grand Canyon. Many live in stone villages considered the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. Hopi spirituality is still strong. New songs are being inspired through dreams. Their ancient ceremonial cycle stands unbroken. Hundreds of Katsina dancers fill their plazas at precise times of the year. Katsina Societies remain active. Over a century ago, U.S. government agents predicted American Indians were on the verge of extinction. These so-called experts were wrong. American Indian cultures have survived. The state of the American Indian art world is strong. And, with our continued support as art patrons, American Indian artists and their families may grow even stronger. The key to the growth of American Indian cultural arts is for art patrons to support the true artists who create "authentic, handmade, Native American arts."

$ 35.00	Cultures and Ethnicities: Buy Golly! (Black Collectables) by: Clinton Derricks Book Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Author Clinton Derricks is an authority and avid collector on golliwog dolls, which are very popular in England. His collecting has given him a dual fascination with both the history of this nineteenth and twentieth century toy, and also the different messages that this toy and its representations convey. Many view golliwogs as an important segment of black social history in the western world; others consider that they perpetuate a negative image of blacks in society. Regardless of opinion, the golliwog commemorated its 100 year anniversary in 1995 and this book will serve to inform the collector.
$ 12.99	Cultures and Ethnicities: Hopi Kachinas by: Edward A Kennard Book Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. In December, 1935, Edwin Earle arrived in Oraibi. He lived for a year on the Hopi mesas and witnessed a full cycle of kachina dances. The images in this volume were chosen from among the kachinas he painted. Dr. Edward Kennard prepared a text that explains the meaning of kachina ceremonialism, and this book was first published in 1938. Although several books on Hopi Kachina dolls are readily available; it is more difficult to find literature on the ceremonies themselves. Kennard's text and Earle's paintings bring the kachinas to life for the contemporary student of Hopi religion.
