 * RAID ON DEERFIELD: THE MANY STORIES OF 1704 **

Some of the captives were later redeemed and returned to Deerfield, but one-third chose to remain among their French and Native captors. //**

Yet the objects here suggest that Native Americans are a highly spiritual people who create objects of extraordinary beauty. In Native American thought there is also no distinction between what is beautiful or functional, and what is sacred or secular. Design goes far beyond concerns of function, and beauty is much more than simple appearances. For many native peoples, beauty arises from living in harmony with the order of the universe. The concerns and aspirations of a vital contemporary American Indian population changes as the world changes. Today some Native American artists continue traditions of their ancestors, while others transform those traditions in new and innovative ways." //** Sections: Northwest Coast, Southwest, Plains, Mississippi Valley, and Northeast Woodlands.
