By Clint Leung, Fri Dec 9th

Most subjects used inNative American Indian art tend to be focused on nature whetherthe pieces are prints, carvings or pottery. Colors tend to beearthy shades of browns, reds, blacks and yellows since the mainraw materials are wood as in carvings from the Pacific Northwestregion and clay from the Southwest.

This is because of their natural colors and also theirsubject matters which tend to be animals such as eagles, bears,thunderbirds, killer whales and salmons. Pacific NorthwestNative art in particular gives homes in that region a localflavor. Many homes in this part of North America have this typeof artwork as part of interior decorating. This style of NativeAmerican Indian art is still relatively unknown to many parts ofNorth America and the rest of the world so for homes outside ofthe Pacific Northwest region, a nice wood carving can be seen asexotic treasure brought back from a homeowner's travels.
