| Non-Western Art and Culture | Native American Montana

For our assignment on non-western art, I chose to portray Native American Art and Culture, specifically in the state of Montana. Native American art is diverse and nomadic. Art was not used specifically for aesthetics only. The tribes were/are nomadic and had to create portable pieces used in everyday life or ceremonial pieces. Specific art designs were unique to tribes and could be found in totem poles, pottery, clothing, blankets, teepees, jewelry, etc. Native American art is considered Non-Western because it is not derived from European or white North American art. It is its own entity. ---- | Blackfeet |Siksika ‘prairie people’ Below are three pictures of Blackfeet Native Americans and their culture. Art can be viewed on their tipis/homes and in their clothing, hairstyles, and horse accessories.  The Chiewyan. The Western woods Cree. The Sarsi Vol. 18, Plate 633.
