Over 200 images in the book transport the reader into a cultural landscape reflecting ideals of society that were suppressed through a 100 years of colonial history.
From the interiors and exteriors of homes, to the ruins of ancient capitals of culture, art and its objects spoke through a 1000 years of history.
Headrests, ceremonial axes, daggers and staffs, beadwork, pottery, textiles, medicine containers, stools and divining dice, multiple objects of daily life and ceremony carried the symbols of a shared worldview.
