In the course of two years of fieldwork in the American West in the 1880s,
the Dutch anthropologist Hermann ten Kate (1858-1931) assembled a sizeable
collection of Native American artifacts. These pieces, ranging from
utilitarian tools to genuine works of art, are especially important because
of their well-documented collection history and early date of acquisition.
Some of the objects, the vast majority of which are today housed by the
National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, represent the oldest specimens of
their kind to have been preserved. This catalogue presents the complete
collection and places the artifacts in their cultural and historical context
by drawing on Ten Kate's own travel diaries, anthropological studies
spanning more than a century of research, as well as Native American oral
traditions.

 

Pieter Hovens is curator of the North American Department at the National
Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, the Netherlands. His publications include
studies on Ten Kate's life and work, Native American material culture,
Indian-White relations, and gypsy affairs.
