Overview

Already acknowledged as a standard, I Am Here is the most beautiful and accessible single volume on southwestern Native American Indian arts and culture available today.

The Laboratory of Anthropology, the Museum of New Mexico's anthropological research unit, has amassed over its more than five decades one of the finest collections of Southwest Indian art and artifacts in the nation. Essays by noted scholars in the field illuminate the change and continuity over two thousand years of Native American basketry, textiles, pottery, and jewelry, while developing the connections between prehistoric, historic, and contemporary trends and traditions.
