ABOUT THIS BOOK
The careers of the celebrated preservers of Native culture
Reginald and Gladys Laubin devoted their lives to preserving vanishing Indigenous American cultures. Their authentic Indian dances, costumes, and songs helped white Americans appreciate expressions of Native culture as an art that should be preserved. Native Americans of many peoples praised the Laubins as worthy envoys of their cultures. Audiences in the US, Europe, Israel, and Africa applauded their performances. Starr West Jones provides the historical context for the Laubins’ accomplishments by following their career through their long history of live appearances and discussing their books on American Indian tipis, dances, and archery.
