Friends

Native American Art can not be clumped together, unless the Art Teacher
decides to do that way.

I used this while I was an Art Teacher for The Sac Fox Indian Settlement
School. They had an even lower stats.

My Culture files are sorted by:

ERA
PEOPLE ,INDIGENOUS
REGION
MUSEUM
YEAR, DATE

Then those are subdivided even more.

This is a great site to learn about Native American Groups of the Southwest
Region of the United States.

If you go to the Heard Museum site one can find

The Native American Fine Art Movement A Resource Guide
(It takes about 20-40 seconds to down load.61 pages)

http://www.heard.org/nafarmg.pdf

The Heard has developed curriculum materials, based on its exhibits and
educational programs, that teachers can use in their classrooms. Following
is a list of curriculum materials available in downloadable format, CD-Rom
or as a kit.

Rain
Based on the popular Heard Museum exhibit of the same name, Rain discusses
the importance of rain in the lives of Southwestern Native peoples. The kits
follow a cycle-Clouds, Rain, Rainbows, Dry Spell, Animals and Using the
Rain-with lessons in math, science, reading and writing based on six
oversize art prints. In many cases, original books and stories were
developed for the kits. A special kit also is available for Phoenix Area
schools.
