Native American Artifacts from Karen's Whimsy





I've been wanting to pull together images of Native American Artifacts from all my old history and children's books for a long time, and I've finally done it. These pictures of Native American Artifacts were taken from books which were written in the late 1800's to the very early 1900's, and they reflect the prejudices and stereotypes of that time. Several of the image captions referred to these men and women as "barbarians." Although I am presenting most of the images and labels as they were presented in the text as I found them, I would be wary of their accuracy. Still, I hope you will enjoy the images of these Native American Artifacts and find a way to use them respectfully in your artistic endeavors.

Be sure to check my Public Domain Images often. More pictures are added regularly.
