The majority of their paintings documented warfare, focusing on specific war deeds. These pictorial narratives—appearing on hide robes, war shirts, tipi liners, and tipi covers—were maintained by the several dozen Plains Indians tribes, and they continue to expand historical knowledge of a people and place in transition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar Paintings of the Tsuu T'ina Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is a study of several important war paintings and artifact collections of the Tsuu T'ina (Sarcee) that provides insight into the changing relations between the Tsuu T'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 T'ina paintings are considered in the study, as are several important collections of Tsuu T'ina artifacts, with particular emphasis on five key works. Brownstone's analysis furthers our understanding of Tsuu T'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Background\u003cbr\u003ePlains Indian Warfare\u003cbr\u003eWar Exploit Painting\u003cbr\u003eHistory of the Five Tsuu T’ina Paintings\u003cbr\u003eDiscussion of the Five Paintings\u003cbr\u003ePictographic Translations\u003cbr\u003eLater Tsuu T’ina Paintings\u003cbr\u003eTsuu T’ina Material Culture Collections\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52545954316568,"sku":"9780803265219","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/war-paintings-of-the-tsuu-tina-nation-paperback-softback-9780803265219","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
