Publisher's Comments
An anthropologist and art historian based in British Columbia, Ryan explores the presence of the Trickster, traditionally embodied by Coyote, in the plastic art of contemporary Native artists primarily but not exclusively from Canada. Between the many color reproductions, he comments himself and allows the artists to offer their own insights into the creative process and the nature of Native humor.
