The catalogue of the Washington State Centennial exhibit (April- October 1989), presenting 100 masterworks of Washington Native art--rare pieces that represent more than 2,000 years of artistry, from prehistoric stone and bone sculpture to commissioned contemporary works. Fully equal in importance to the color-illustrated masterworks are the wide variety of illustrated articles and essays on tribal life and culture by both Native and non-Native authors--comprising a virtual ethnography of the varied Native cultures.
