All who want to view Native American mask sites of value will have to help
find them. I have searched -- and searched...and searched....I am wondering
if all of the False Face Masks in museums have been given back to the
Iroquois? I can not find ANYTHING on line of value. There are lots of
commercial sites - especially Northwest Coast. I could not find even one
Iroquois False Face (historical) online.
This is what I have - I am done with Native American - all who are
interested can chip in and help find resources you will use. I posted
several Northwest Coast artists with the contemporary list that you can add
on here.
Save this post - I may not get all of these online.
Coastal Arts - Commercial site - Online gallery. Has high quality images -
work by contemporary Northwest Coast artists - Gives a brief biography of
the artist.
