1. Native American bead work was known for its beauty and for the mathematical skill needed to construct them.
2. A key concept we are learning is how the Native American arts display common mathematical skills that are used to this very day.
3. Bead looms are based off of four-fold symmetry.
4. The shapes are basic and made of lines. There are four shapes that are centered around a central axis.
5. Embroidery, Plains Indians, Shoshone Beadwork, Buffalo Hide Drum, Navajo Rug.
6. Reflection Symmetry is when an object can be reflected perfectly over a singular line running down the center of a object or form.
7. Many Native Americans used a base four counting system. Their tepees had four poles and they occasionally offered prayer to the four winds.
8. The picture displayed is a rug based off a sand drawing. The sand drawings were used for healing where a healing man would create a drawing and then brush it off at the end of the day.
9. Four-fold symmetry was also used to decorate clothing such as the heavy wool jacket displayed on the page.
10. Four-Fold Symmetry #5 depicts a bead loom.
11. The creation of the bead loom isn't fully documented but it occurred long before Europeans reached the Americas.
12. These designs decorate clothing and make fine pieces of art.
