        The Life of Angel De Cora, Winnebago Artist

        by Linda M. Waggoner

        Artist, teacher, and Red Progressive, Angel De Cora (1869–1919) painted Fire Light to capture warm memories of her Nebraska Winnebago childhood. In this biography, Linda M. Waggoner draws on that glowing image to illuminate De Cora’s life and artistry, which until now have been largely overlooked by scholars.

        by Kate Elliott

        Cradles of the Great Plains Indians

        by Deanna Tidwell Broughton

        Despite decades of political and social upheaval among Plains tribes, the significance of the cradle endures. Today, a baby can still be found wrapped up and wide-eyed, supported by a baby board. With its blend of stunning full-color images and detailed information, this book is a fitting tribute to an important and ongoing tradition among indigenous cultures.

        Stephen Mopope, Oscar Jacobson, and the Development of Indian Art in Oklahoma

        Transnational Frontiers

        The American West in France

        by Emily C. Burns

        For French artists and enthusiasts, the West served as a fulcrum for the construction of an American cultural identity, offering a chance to debate ideas of primitivism and masculinity that bolstered their own colonialist discourses. By examining this process, Burns reveals the interconnections between American western art and Franco-American artistic exchange between 1865 and 1915.

        Arapaho Women’s Quillwork

        Arapaho Women’s Quillwork

        Motion, Life, and Creativity

        by Jeffrey D. Anderson

        Anderson demonstrates how, through the action of creating quillwork, Arapaho women became central participants in ritual life, often studied as the exclusive domain of men. He also shows how quillwork challenges predominant Western concepts of art and creativity: adhering to sacred patterns passed down through generations of women, it emphasized not individual creativity, but meticulous repetition and social connectivity—an approach foreign to many outside observers.
