        The New Catalog of Maya Hieroglyphs, Volume Two

        The New Catalog of Maya Hieroglyphs, Volume Two

        Codical Texts

        by Martha J. Macri and Gabrielle Vail

        This long-awaited resource complements its companion volume on Classic Period monumental inscriptions. Authors Martha J. Macri and Gabrielle Vail provide a comprehensive listing of graphemes found in the Dresden, Madrid, and Paris codices, 40 percent of which are unique to these painted manuscripts, and discuss current and past interpretations of these graphemes. Together the two volumes of the New Catalog represent the most significant updating of the sign lists for the Maya script proposed in half a century. They provide a cutting-edge reference tool critical to the research of Mesoamericanists in the fields of archaeology, art history, ethnohistory, and linguistics, and a valuable resource to scholars specializing in comparative studies of writing systems and related disciplines.

        Lakhota

        An Indigenous History

        by Rani-Henrik Andersson and David C. Posthumus

        The Lakȟóta are among the best-known Native American peoples. In popular culture and even many scholarly works, they were once lumped together with others and called the Sioux. This book tells the full story of Lakȟóta culture and society, from their origins to the twenty-first century, drawing on Lakȟóta voices and perspectives.
         

        Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud

        Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud

        Custer, the Press, and the Little Bighorn

        by James E. Mueller

        The defeat of George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn was big news in 1876. Newspaper coverage of the battle initiated hot debates about whether the U.S. government should change its policy toward American Indians and who was to blame for the army’s loss—the latter, an argument that ignites passion to this day.

        Uncommon Anthropologist

        Uncommon Anthropologist

        Gladys Reichard and Western Native American Culture

        by Nancy Mattina

        Drawing on Reichard’s own writings and correspondence, this book provides an intimate picture of her small-town upbringing, the professional challenges she faced in male-centered institutions, and her quietly revolutionary contributions to anthropology.

        We Do Not Want the Gates Closed between Us

        Native Networks and the Spread of the Ghost Dance

        by Justin Gage

        Documenting the evolution and operation of intertribal networking, Gage demonstrates its effectiveness—and recognizes for the first time how, through Native activism, long-distance, intercultural communication persisted in the colonized American West.
         

        Eastern Cherokee Stories

        Eastern Cherokee Stories

        A Living Oral Tradition and Its Cultural Continuance

        by Sandra Muse Isaacs

        Foreword by Joyce Dugan

        In Eastern Cherokee Stories, Sandra Muse Isaacs uses the concepts of Gadugi and Duyvkta to explore the Eastern Cherokee oral tradition, and to explain how storytelling in this tradition—as both an ancient and a contemporary literary form—is instrumental in the perpetuation of Cherokee identity and culture.
         

        Codex Sierra

        Codex Sierra

        A Nahuatl-Mixtec Book of Accounts from Colonial Mexico

        by Kevin Terraciano

        The first known record of an indigenous population’s integration into the trans-Atlantic economy, and of the impact of the trans-Pacific trade on a lucrative industry in the region, the Codex Sierra provides a unique window on the world of the Mixteca less than a generation after the conquest—a view rendered that much more precise, clear, and coherent by this new translation and commentary.
         

        Cultural Contact and Linguistic Relativity among the Indians of Northwestern California

        Cultural Contact and Linguistic Relativity among the Indians of Northwestern California

        by Sean O'Neill

        If language encapsulates worldview, as the principle of linguistic relativity suggests, then this region’s linguistic diversity is puzzling. Analyzing patterns of linguistic accommodation as seen in the semantics of space and time, grammatical classification, and specialized cultural vocabularies, O’Neill resolves the apparent paradox by assessing long-term effects of contact.

        Horace

        Horace

        Epodes, Odes, and Carmen Saeculare

        Edited and translated by Stephanie McCarter

        Ideally suited for classroom use, in both classical literature and Latin language courses, this bilingual edition of Horace’s poetry is enhanced by an in-depth introduction, explanatory notes, reference maps, and a glossary of literary terms.
