American Indian Beadwork by B. Hunt (Paperback)

It gives very useful information about which tribes use which designs and some history behind them. It also gave great pictures and step by step instructions on how to make your own.

I was asked to write a review for the American Indian Beadwork book by Ben Hunt. The only reason I bought the book at all is it was packaged with a bead loom. I really wanted the bead loom. I already had a copy of this book but the price was low enough I bid on both. I'm going to give the book to my son, a fellow Boy Scout leader, to use when he gets back into Scouting. He still does beadwork, something he picked up while a Scout. I buy cheap looms to keep on hand to "loan" to the youth Scouts who have projects to do to advance in our honor camping society, the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. I've always liked the book and bought it back in 1995 when I got into the tribe and needed to do some beadwork for my costume. The book is full of useful information and has lots of graphics and pictures to help anyone get started beading, loom or otherwise.
