N2  - Examines the bentwood box of the Pacific Northwest Coast, and provides detailed instructions for reproducing it. Includes an adult teaching guide. The Bentwood Box focuses on the box making and art of the northern coastal peoples - the Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian and Heiltsuk. A very short story reveals how a young boy created a cedar box before the coming of the Europeans. The boxes were traditionally decorated with ovoid and "U" forms and instructions are included for creating templates and painting with traditional salmon egg paint. Two interesting parts of the activity section are the maze patterns and the creation of a game with shapes. This book also has a number of places for children to write in answers to questions. As in all the other books in the series, the adult guide contains a map, bibliographies and valuable commentary and explanations. (Source: CM: Canadian Review of Materials)
