- Summary:
- Presents the ceramic traditions of the Southwest in a provocative context mainly, the cultural clash of Western civilization and one of the oldest, most enduring tribal groups in North America. Addressing the interpretation of tradition through the dynamics of intercultural conflict over terms of meaning and value the video reflects the current debate over the return of artifacts to Native American tribes, implicating the Western practise of appropriating religious artifacts from around the world in the name of Science and Art.
