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.
 

From Huronia to Wendakes

From Huronia to Wendakes

Adversity, Migration, and Resilience, 1650–1900

Edited by Thomas Peace and Kathryn Labelle

This collection of essays brings together lesser-known historical accounts of the Wendats from their mid-seventeenth-century dispersal through their establishment of new homelands, called Wendakes, in Quebec, Michigan, Ontario, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

Through Indian Sign Language

Through Indian Sign Language

The Fort Sill Ledgers of Hugh Lenox Scott and Iseeo, 1889–1897

Edited by William C. Meadows

The Scott ledgers contain an array of historic, linguistic, and ethnographic data—a wealth of primary-source material on Southern Plains Indian people. Meadows describes Plains Indian Sign Language, its origins and history, and its significance to anthropologists.

Traders, Agents, and Weavers

Traders, Agents, and Weavers

Developing the Northern Navajo Region

by Robert S. McPherson

Yet a closer look at the economic and creative activity in this region, which straddles northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah, belies a far more interesting picture. In Traders, Agents, and Weavers, Robert S. McPherson unveils the fascinating—and at times surprising—history of the merging of cultures and artistic innovation across this land.

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.

The Formation of Latin American Nations

The Formation of Latin American Nations

From Late Antiquity to Early Modernity

by Thomas Ward

This pioneering work brings the pre-Columbian and colonial history of Latin America home: rather than starting out in Spain and following Columbus and the conquistadores as they “discover” New World peoples, The Formation of Latin American Nations begins with the Mesoamerican and South American nations as they were before the advent of European colonialism—and only then moves on to the sixteenth-century Spanish arrival and its impact.
 

Monsters of Contact

Monsters of Contact

Historical Trauma in Caddoan Oral Traditions

by Mark van de Logt

Although Western historical methods have become the standard in much of the world, van de Logt demonstrates that indigenous forms of history are no less valuable, and that oral traditions and myths can be useful sources of historical information. A daring interpretation of Caddoan lore, Monsters of Contact puts oral traditions at the center of historical inquiry and, in so doing, asks us to reconsider what makes a monster.
 

Maya Ruins Revisited

Maya Ruins Revisited

In the Footsteps of Teobert Maler

by William Frej

Contributions by Alma Durán-Merk, Stephan Merk, Jeremy A. Sabloff and Khristaan D. Villela

This stunning, substantial volume documents William Frej’s forty-five year search for remote Maya sites primarily in Guatemala and Mexico, inspired in large part by his discovery of the work of German-Austrian explorer Teobert Maler, who photographed them in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of Frej’s magnificent photographs are juxtaposed here with historic photographs taken by Maler, and reveal the changes in the landscape that have occurred in the intervening century.

The Arapaho Way

The Arapaho Way

Continuity and Change on the Wind River Reservation

by Sara Wiles

Foreword by Jordan Dresser

In The Arapaho Way, Wiles returns to Wyoming’s Wind River Reservation, whose people she so gracefully portrayed in words and photographs in Arapaho Journeys (2011). She continues her journey of discovery here, photographing the lives of contemporary Northern Arapaho people and listening to their stories that map the many roads to being Arapaho.

Hide, Wood, and Willow

Hide, Wood, and Willow

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.
