Explores the making and meaning of so-called Native American artThe faking of Native American art objects has proliferated as their commercial value has increased, but even a century ago experts were warning that the faking of objects ranging from catlinite pipes to Chumash sculpture was rampant. Through a series of historical and contemporary case studies, Janet Catherine Berlo engages with troubling and sometimes confusing categories of inauthenticity.Based on decades of research as well as interviews with curators, collectors, restorers, replica makers, reenactors, and Native artists and cultural specialists, Not Native American Art examines the historical and social contexts within which people make replicas and fakes or even invent new objects that then become "traditional." Berlo follows the unexpected trajectories of such objects, including Northwest Coast carvings, "Navajo" rugs made in Mexico, Zuni mask replicas, Lakota-style quillwork, and Mimbres bowl forgeries. With engaging anecdotes, the book offers a rich and nuanced understanding of a surprisingly wide range of practices that makers have used to produce objects that are "not Native American art."

"Berlo's analyses question not only what is authentic but also what is traditional. She demonstrates how neither is a static concept, and she reminds us of the limits of essentialism. . . . Berlo's examples demonstrate her skill as a storyteller as she evokes positive and negative characteristics of re-enactors, hobbyists, WPA (Works Progress Administration) workers revitalizing Native traditions, and, well, crooks. Her rich narratives allow readers to perceive the twists and turns of appropriation and re-creation so they can reach their own judgments."(Museum & Society) "Dr. Janet Catherine Berlo accomplishes a rare feat: producing a scholarly book that is well-researched, well-written, and an engaging read. . . . an invaluable resource for anyone interested in gaining a wider view of the complexities of the Native art world."(Native American and Indigenous Studies Journal) "Berlo brings a sensitive eye to difficult topics that continue to affect Native American communities and their artistic practices. . . . Scholars and students of Native American art and material culture will find Berlo's book to be a useful resource on specific case studies and guide for future investigations."(Western Historical Quarterly) "Clearly written and beautifully illustrated."(Choice) "A thoroughly researched and well-written book, Not Native American Art tackles a complex subject and breaks it down into more understandable terms while simultaneously not oversimplifying it. . . . [A] must-read for anyone interested in Native history, art, and material culture."(H-Net Reviews)
