The book ""Decorative Symbolism Of The Arapaho"" by Alfred Louis Kroeber was first published in 1901. It is a comprehensive study of the decorative symbols used by the Arapaho tribe, a Native American tribe that once inhabited the Great Plains region of North America. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to the Arapaho tribe, their history, and their culture. It also discusses the importance of decorative symbolism in Arapaho art and how it was used to communicate important cultural and spiritual messages. The second part of the book is a detailed analysis of the different decorative symbols used by the Arapaho tribe. It covers a wide range of symbols, including those used in clothing, beadwork, and other decorative arts. Each symbol is described in detail, including its meaning and significance within Arapaho culture. The book is illustrated with numerous black and white photographs and drawings of Arapaho art and symbols. It also includes a glossary of Arapaho terms and a bibliography for further reading. Overall, ""Decorative Symbolism Of The Arapaho"" is an important and valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American art and culture, particularly the decorative symbolism of the Arapaho tribe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
