Book Review

Blackfoot War Art: Pictographs of the Reservation Period, 1880–2000. By L. James Dempsey. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2007. ix + 409 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $45.00.)

While pre-reservation Great Plains drawings and paintings are well known, those from the period between 1880 and 2000 are far less familiar. L. James Dempsey's in-depth examination of Blackfoot pictorial imagery from those years makes an invaluable contribution to the study of both representational warrior art and the cultural history of the people who continued to create it in the midst of dramatic social change. Dempsey writes as an academic as well as a member of the Blood tribe, one of the four components of the Blackfoot Nation. He grew up around such images and the stories they record. His study confirms the continuing importance of these visual narratives.
