Sample Text
The range of artistic expression varies, but for most Native cultures it centers on personal adornment or the elaborate decoration of personal objects and weapons. Nomadic cultures became skilled in weaving, embroidery, hide painting, and body decoration. Settled communities emphasized more substantial art forms, such as carved masks, sculpture, ceramics, and mural painting.
