"Argentina, like many nations that were once colonies, has grown with the notion of being an outsider; of not quite measuring up to the old countries, with their centuries-old histories and solid sense of cultural identity. And like other multi-cultural nations, it has been a struggle for Argentina to recognize its roots and form a cohesive cultural identity.".
"This book is an attempt to rescue from destruction and oblivion Argentina's own indigenous cultural wealth. It speaks of an unknown part of the land, the highlands, and of the people that inhabit it, the Quichua-Santiagueno people.".
"It shows their works - the objects that they create for their everyday life made from the natural materials found around them. These treasures illustrate the indigenous people's way of life in harmony with nature, and this is found present not only in the strength and the nobility of the materials used to make them, but also in their fresh designs and subtle purity of their lines."--BOOK JACKET.
