Prereqs
Common misconceptions
- Believing Native art is 'craft' rather than fine art (it is fine art with deep tradition)
- Believing it's okay to copy a sacred design as a craft project (it is NOT - this is appropriation; learn instead about the art)
- Believing all Native artists make the same art (each nation has distinct artistic traditions; each artist has individual vision)
