The dynamic cultures of indigenous peoples across North America are collectively diverse and individually unique. From the Pacific Northwest to the Great Plains to the Southwest, tribal artists and artisans have been creating beautiful objects of spiritual significance and practical function since long before first contact with European peoples.

This program presents objects from across the continent and a selection of the styles, materials and motifs of Native North American art. This is a hands-on class where participants can interact with several pieces of artwork provided by the Cleveland Museum of Art.
