Native American Arts

This document explores the David T. Vernon Collection of Native American Arts, focusing on works from tribes in the northern Plains and western Woodlands created between 1850 and 1952. The western Woodlands tribes, including the Chippewa, Kickapoo, Menomini, Potawatomi, Winnebago, Sauk, and Fox, lived in the Great Lakes region's forested areas. In contrast, the northern Plains tribes, such as the Dakota, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Crow, resided in the grasslands.
