  Through dramatic photographs, native drawings, examination of color and its importance in Ishir art, this book illuminates the connection of religious practice and art in Ishir culture. It offers a glimpse of an aesthetic other, and causes us to reexamine Western perspectives on the interpretation of art, belief, and Native American culture.
