To put this void into perspective, Art: A Brief Histoy is six hundred and twenty-four pages long. The twenty-two pages that discuss Native American art is a little over three percent of the knowledge presented. They use twenty-two pages to sum up completely separate cultures that span across two continents.

These Native American cultures had unique languages, traditions, cultures, and arts, however somewhere along the history of the United States education system, it was decided that learning about the history of people an ocean away is more important than the history of the land that American students inhabit. The art of Native Americans is not paint on canvas. It is not bronze and marble statues. It is the everyday artifacts that they put their souls into. Those everyday objects that are looked over for more dramatic articles such as the feather headdresses that very few tribes actually wore.
