What clues tell you that this is a mask for a horse? Point to and name the animals you can find on the side of the canoe. How many different shapes can you find in these wooden house posts? How many different colors?

Children will learn new ways of looking at and understanding Hopi Kachina dolls, a Pawnee ceremonial drum, a Yup'ik mask from Alaska used like a finger puppet, wooden posts carved in the shape of wolves for a Haida home, a fantastic drawing made in an account ledger book by a Lakota Sioux medicine man, and other captivating objects.
