North American Indian Art: Masterpieces and Museum Collections from the Netherlands showcases 114 oustanding examples of Native art and heritage from the Canadian subarctic forests to the American Southwest preserved in Dutch museums. Many of these rare material documents collected between the seventeenth and the twenty-first century have never been published before. They are here stunningly presented as individual works of art and placed into their cultural and historical contexts by forty-two leading American, Canadian, and European experts who weave together the historical narrative of each object’s acquisition with current Native and scholarly interpretations of their use and meaning.
In his introductory essay Pieter Hovens provides a detailed account of the history of Dutch interests in North American Indian cultures, from the seventeenth-century colonial experience in New Netherland through the collecting activities of public institutions and private connoisseurs to academic scholarship and social engagement. All of these interests have contributed to the wealth and range of objects featured here as well as to the public perception of Native Americans in the Netherlands.
This book for the first time offers an overview of all institutional collections of Native North American arts and cultures in a single European country. It is the privilege of the Dutch museums to share these heritage collections with the widest audience possible.

Pieter Hovens (1951) is curator of the North American collection at the National Museum of World Cultures in Leiden, the Netherlands. His publications focus on the history of anthropology and North American Indian studies, Native American art and material culture, and the history of Dutch-Indian relations.
Bruce Bernstein (1953) is executive director of the Ralph T. Coe Foundation for the Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has published extensively on Indian art, notably basketry and Pueblo pottery, and on contemporary museum issues.
