"American Indian cultural objects, like most objects, deteriorate over time. Precious and irreplaceable pieces of a people's heritage can turn to dust, either slowly or rapidly, depending upon their composition and the ways in which they are stored and handled." "Caring for American Indian Objects: A Practical and Cultural Guide offers invaluable information and advice to anyone who wants to preserve these objects. Twenty-one contributors, fourteen of whom are American Indians, discuss general aspects of museum care, explain techniques for particular materials, and address important cultural considerations. From methods of storage and handling to preservation of skin and quills, from cleaning beadwork to dealing with pesticide contamination, from applying labels to planning a respectful display, this book supplies both the overview and the specific detail needed to provide the best possible care. The recommendations emphasize actions that are economical, even low cost, and useful for any curator." "Over 100 color and black-and-white photos illustrate curatorial techniques and materials and illustrate how many of the items were used by American Indians." "American Indian people have applied tribal methods to the care of their cultural items for generations. This book does not propose to replace these techniques. Instead, it offers Indian and non-Indian caregivers, conservators, and collectors helpful information on standard museum practice to aid them in making decisions to slow deterioration."--BOOK JACKET.
