Exploring the visual culture of animism, healing, and journeys to other planes--this copiously illustrated book brings to life the imagery of shamanism in one beautiful and intelligent volume.

For thousands of years, Plains Indians and their ancestors have occupied the vast region that stretches from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains and from the Canadian plains to the Gulf of Mexico. Through a selection of objects from the British Museums collection, this book explores the world of the warriors of the North American Plains.
