"A major component in the Florida Museum's North American Indian ethnographic collection came to the University of Florida in 1964 when a donor purchased the Leigh Morgan Pearsall collection for the museum. With representative pieces from most of the major tribal cultures in North America, the Pearsall collection is especially rich in examples of North American Indian art made during the Reservation Period (1890-1920), a time of transition for American Indian cultures. The collection is an important resource for studying the origins of the North American Indian art market...In terms of culture area, Southwest material is by far the most numerous with 137 database records, including many baskets and Navajo textiles. Culture areas, like the Great Basin, Intermontaine/Plateau, Northeast, Southeast and Subarctic, represent relatively small components in the Pearsall collection, so the number of records in our database are proportionally smaller. The Southeast component of the Pearsall Collection is surprisingly small. Fortunately, this culture area is well represented in the larger body of the ethnographic collection."
