| book description |

During much of the nineteenth century, paintings functioned as the Plains Indiansâ€™ equivalent to written records. The majority of their paintings documented warfare, focusing on specific war deeds. These pictorial narrativesâ€”appearing on hide robes, war shirts, tipi liners, and tipi coversâ€”were maintained by the several dozen Plains Indians tribes, and they continue to expand historical knowledge of a people and place in transition. War Paintings of the Tsuu Tâ€™ina Nation is a study of several important war paintings and artifact collections of the Tsuu Tâ€™ina (Sarcee) that provides insight into the changing relations between the Tsuu Tâ€™ina, other plains tribes, and non-Native communities during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Arni Brownstone has meticulously created renderings of the paintings that invite readers to explore them more fully. All known Tsuu Tâ€™ina paintings are considered in the study, as are several important collections of Tsuu Tâ€™ina artifacts, with particular emphasis on five key works. Brownstoneâ€™s analysis furthers our understanding of Tsuu Tâ€™ina pictographic war paintings in relation to the social, historical, and artistic forces that influenced them and provides a broader understanding of pictographic painting, one of the richest and most important Native American artistic and literary genres.
