I just rec'd this- thought I'd pass it along. Betsy
We're pleased to annouce a new art education Web site:

Surrounded by Beauty: The Arts of Native America
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
http://www.artsmia.org/surrounded-by-beauty/

There is no equivalent in the many Native American
languages for the word art. They make no
distinction between what is beautiful or functional, and
what is sacred or secular. Yet Native
Americans are a highly spiritual people who create objects
of extraordinary beauty. Explore dozens of
these objects in this online exhibition at the Minneapolis
Insitute of Art.
