""Tattoo: Secrets Of A Strange Art As Practiced Among The Natives Of The United States"" by Albert Parry is a comprehensive guide to the history and cultural significance of tattooing among Native American tribes. The book covers the different techniques, designs, and meanings behind the tattoos, as well as the social and spiritual roles they played in tribal life. Parry also explores the impact of colonialism and the suppression of indigenous cultures on the practice of tattooing, and how it has evolved and persisted in modern times. The book is a fascinating and insightful look into a unique and often misunderstood art form, and offers a valuable perspective on the rich cultural heritage of Native American communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
