Mark My Words
Native Women Mapping Our Nations Mishuana Goeman
Dominant history would have us believe that colonialism belongs to a previous era that has long come to an end. But as Native people become mobile, reservation lands become overcrowded and the state seeks to enforce means of containment, closing its borders to incoming, often Indigenous, immigrants. In Mark My Words, Mishuana Goeman traces settler colonialism as an enduring form of gendered spatial violence, demonstrating how it persists in the contemporary context of neoliberal globalization. The book argues that it is vital to refocus the efforts of Native nations beyond replicating settler models of territory, jurisdiction, and race. Through an examination of twentieth-century Native womens poetry and prose, Goeman illuminates how these works can serve to remap settler geographies and center Native knowledges. She positions Native women as pivotal to how our nations, both tribal and nontribal, have been imagined and mapped, and how these women play an ongoing role in decolonization. In a strong and lucid voice, Goeman provides close readings of literary texts, including those of E. Pauline Johnson, Esther Belin, Joy Harjo, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Heid Erdrich. In addition, she places these works in the framework of U.S. and Canadian Indian law and policy. Her charting of womens struggles to define themselves and their communities reveals the significant power in all of our stories. Mishuana Goeman is assistant professor of gender studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. 260 pp. / 5.5 x 8.5 / March 2013 Paper, 978-0-8166-7791-7, $25.00 Cloth, 978-0-8166-7790-0, $75.00

The Seeds We Planted

Portraits of a Native Hawaiian Charter School Noelani Goodyear-Kaopua
In 1999, Noelani Goodyear-Kaopua was among a group of young educators and parents who founded Halau Ku Mana, a secondary school that remains one of the only Hawaiian culture-based charter schools in urban Honolulu. The Seeds We Planted tells the story of Halau Ku Mana against the backdrop of the Hawaiian struggle for self-determination and the U.S. charter school movement, revealing a critical tension: the successes of a school celebrating Indigenous culture are measured by the standards of settler colonialism. How, Goodyear-Kaopua asks, does an Indigenous people use schooling to maintain and transform a common sense of purpose and interconnection of nationhood in the face of forces of imperialism and colonialism? What roles do race, gender, and place play in these processes? Her book, with its richly descriptive portrait of Indigenous education in one community, offers practical answers steeped in the remarkableand largely suppressedhistory of Hawaiian popular learning and literacy. This uniquely Hawaiian experience addresses broader concerns about what it means to enact Indigenous culturalpolitical resurgence while working within and against settler colonial structures. Ultimately, The Seeds We Planted shows that Indigenous education can foster collective renewal and continuity. Noelani Goodyear-Kaopua is associate professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She was a cofounder of the Halau Ku Mana public charter school and served as a teacher, administrator, and board member at various times during the schools first decade. 352 pp. / 5.5 x 8.5 / March 2013 Paper, 978-0-8166-8048-1, $25.00 Cloth, 978-0-8166-8047-4, $75.00

Creole Indigeneity
Between Myth and Nation in the Caribbean Shona N. Jackson
During the colonial period in Guyana, the countrys coastal lands were worked by enslaved Africans and indentured Indians. In Creole Indigeneity, Shona N. Jackson investigates how their descendants, collectively called Creoles, have remade themselves as Guyanas new natives, displacing Indigenous peoples in the Caribbean through an extension of colonial attitudes and policies. Looking particularly at the nations politically fraught decades from the 1950s to the present, Jackson explores aboriginal and Creole identities in Guyanese society. Through government documents, interviews, and political speeches, she reveals how Creoles, though unable to usurp the place of aboriginals as First Peoples in the New World, nonetheless managed to introduce a new, more socially viable definition of belonging, through labor. The very reason for bringing enslaved and indentured workers into Caribbean labor became the organizing principle for Creoles new identities. Creoles linked true belonging, and so political and material right, to having performed modern labor on the land; labor thus became the basis for their subaltern, settler modes of indigeneitya contradiction for belonging under postcoloniality that Jackson terms Creole indigeneity. In doing so, her work establishes a new and productive way of understanding the relationship between national power and identity in colonial, postcolonial, and anticolonial contexts. Shona N. Jackson is assistant professor of English at Texas A&M University. 328 pp. / 5.5 x 8.5 / 2012 Paper, 978-0-8166-7776-4, $25.00 Cloth, 978-0-8166-7775-7, $75.00

From Enron to Evo

Pipeline Politics, Global Environmentalism, and Indigenous Rights in Bolivia Derrick Hindery Foreword by Susanna B. Hecht
Throughout the Americas, a boom in oil, gas, and mining development has pushed the extractive frontier deeper into Indigenous territories. Centering on a long-term study of Enron and Shells Cuiab pipeline, From Enron to Evo traces the struggles of Bolivias Indigenous peoples for self-determination over their lives and territories. In his analysis of their response to this encroaching development, author Derrick Hindery also sheds light on surprising similarities between neoliberal reform and the policies of the nations first Indigenous president, Evo Morales. Drawing upon extensive interviews and document analysis, Hindery argues that many of the structural conditions created by neoliberal policiesincluding partial privatization of the oil and gas sectorstill persist under Morales. Tactics employed by both Morales and his neoliberal predecessors utilize the rhetoric of environmental protection and Indigenous rights to justify oil, gas, mining, and road development in Indigenous territories and sensitive eco-regions. Indigenous peoples, while mindful of gains made during Moraless tenure, are increasingly dissatisfied with the administrations development model, particularly when it infringes upon their right to self-determination. From Enron to Evo demonstrates their dynamic and pragmatic strategies to cope with development and adversity, while also advancing their own aims. Offering a critique of both free-market piracy and the dilemmas of resource nationalism, this is a groundbreaking book for scholars, policy-makers and advocates concerned with Indigenous politics, social movements, environmental justice, and resistance in an era of expanding resource development.

Voices of Play
Miskitu Childrens Speech and Song on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua Amanda Minks
While Indigenous languages have become prominent in global political and educational discourses, limited attention has been given to Indigenous childrens everyday communication. Voices of Play is a study of multilingual play and performance among Miskitu children growing up on Corn Island, part of a multi-ethnic autonomous region on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua. Corn Island is historically home to Afro-Caribbean Creole people, but increasing numbers of Miskitu people began moving there from the mainland during the Contra War, and many Spanish-speaking mestizos from western Nicaragua have also settled there. Miskitu kids on Corn Island often gain some competence speaking Miskitu, Spanish, and Kriol English. As the children of migrants and the first generation of their families to grow up with television, they develop creative forms of expression that combine languages and genres, shaping intercultural senses of belonging.

Voices of Play is the first ethnography to focus on the interaction between music and language in childrens discourse. Minks skillfully weaves together Latin American, North American, and European theories of culture and communication, creating a transdisciplinary dialogue that moves across intellectual geographies. Her analysis shows how music and language involve a wide range of communicative resources that create new forms of belonging and enable dialogue across differences. Miskitu childrens voices reveal the intertwining of speech and song, the emergence of self and other, and the centrality of aesthetics to social struggle.

Indigenous Writings from the Convent

Negotiating Ethnic Autonomy in Colonial Mexico Mnica Daz
Sometime in the 1740s, Sor Mara Magdalena, an Indigenous noblewoman living in one of only three convents in New Spain that allowed Indians to profess as nuns, sent a letter to Father Juan de Altamirano to ask for his help in getting church prelates to exclude Creole and Spanish women from convents intended for Indigenous nuns only. Drawing on this and other such lettersas well as biographies, sermons, and other textsMnica Daz argues that the survival of Indigenous ethnic identity was effectively served by this class of noble Indigenous nuns. While colonial sources that refer to Indigenous women are not scant, documents in which women emerge as agents who actively participate in shaping their own identity are rare. Looking at this minority agencyor subaltern voicein various religious discourses exposes some central themes. It shows that an Indigenous identity recast in Catholic terms was able to be effectively recorded and that the religious participation of these women at a time when Indigenous parishes were increasingly secularized lent cohesion to that identity.

Indigenous Writings from the Convent examines ways in which Indigenous women participated in one of the most prominent institutions in colonial timesthe Catholic Churchand what they made of their experience with convent life. This book will appeal to scholars of literary criticism, womens studies, and colonial history, and to anyone interested in the ways that class, race, and gender intersected in the colonial world.

Ritual and Remembrance in the Ecuadorian Andes

Rachel Corr
In the Ecuadorian Andean parish of Salasaca, Indigenous peoples have maintained traditions for centuries while adapting to colonialism and other pressures. Today, Indigenous Salascans continue to devote a large part of their lives to their distinctive practices both community rituals and individual behaviorswhile living side by side with white-mestizo culture. In this book Rachel Corr provides a knowledgeable account of the Salasacan religion and rituals and their respective histories. Based on eighteen years of fieldwork in Salasaca, as well as extensive research in Church archivesincluding never-before-published documentsCorrs book illuminates how Salasacan culture adapted to Catholic traditions and recentered, reinterpreted, and even reshaped them to serve similarly motivated Salasacan practices, demonstrating the link between formal and folk Catholicism and preColumbian beliefs and practices. Corr also explores the intense connection between the local Salasacan rituals and the mountain landscapes around them, from peak to valley.

Ritual and Remembrance in the Ecuadorian Andes is, in its portrayal of Salasacan religious culture, both thorough and all-encompassing. Sections of the book cover everything from the performance of death rituals to stories about Amazonia as Salasacans interacted with outsidersconquistadors and camera-toting tourists alike. Corr also investigates the role of shamanism in modern Salasacan culture, including shamanic powers and mountain spirits, and the use of reshaped, Andeanized Catholicism to sustain collective memory. Through its unique insiders perspective of Salasacan spirituality, Ritual and Remembrance in the Ecuadorian Andes is a valuable anthropological work that honestly represents this peoples great ability to adapt.

Native and National in Brazil

Indigeneity after Independence Tracy Devine Guzmn
How do the lives of Indigenous peoples relate to the romanticized role of Indians in Brazilian history, politics, and cultural production? Native and National in Brazil charts this enigmatic relationship from the sixteenth century to the present, focusing on the consolidation of the dominant national imaginary in the postindependence period and highlighting Native peoples ongoing work to decolonize it. Engaging issues ranging from sovereignty, citizenship, and national security to the revolutionary potential of art, sustainable development, and the gendering of ethnic differences, Tracy Devine Guzmn argues that the tensions between popular renderings of Indianness and lived Indigenous experience are critical to the unfolding of Brazilian nationalism, on the one hand, and the growth of the Brazilian Indigenous movement, on the other. Devine Guzmn suggests that the Indigenous question now posed by Brazilian Indigenous peoples themselves how to be Native and national at the same timecan help us to rethink national belonging in accordance with the protection of human rights, the promotion of social justice, and the consolidation of democratic governance for Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens alike.

Mobilizing Bolivias Displaced

Indigenous Politics and the Struggle over Land Nicole Fabricant
The election of Evo Morales as Bolivias president in 2005 made him a prominent Indigenous head of state in the Americas, a watershed victory for social activists and Native peoples. El Movimiento Sin Tierra (MST), or the Landless Peasant Movement, played a significant role in bringing Morales to power. Following in the tradition of the well-known Brazilian Landless movement, Bolivias MST activists seized unproductive land and built farming collectives as a means of resistance to large-scale export-oriented agriculture. In Mobilizing Bolivias Displaced, Nicole Fabricant illustrates how landless peasants politicized indigeneity to shape grassroots land politics, reform the state, and secure human and cultural rights for Native peoples. Fabricant takes readers into the personal spaces of home and work, on long bus rides, and into meetings and newly built MST settlements to show how, in response to displacement, Indigenous identity is becoming ever more dynamic and adaptive. In addition to advancing this rich definition of indigeneity, she explores the ways in which Morales has found himself at odds with Indigenous activists and, in so doing, shows that Indigenous people have a far more complex relationship to Morales than is generally understood. Nicole Fabricant is assistant professor of anthropology at Towson University. 280 pp. / 6.125 x 9.125 / 2012 Paper, 978-0-8078-7249-9, $29.95 Cloth, 978-0-8078-3713-9, $69.95

Rich and important. As Fabricant tells the political history of this social movement, she provides insight into all that is BoliviaEvo Morales, and then links that story to the politics, economics, and culture of everyday life. A work of huge relevance for the whole region.

Colonial Entanglement
Constituting a Twenty-First-Century Osage Nation Jean Dennison
From 2004 to 2006 the Osage Nation conducted a contentious governmental reform process in which sharply differing visions arose over the new governments goals, the Nations own history, and what it means to be Osage. The primary debates were focused on biology, culture, natural resources, and sovereignty. Osage anthropologist Jean Dennison documents the reform process in order to reveal the lasting effects of colonialism and to illuminate the possibilities for Indigenous sovereignty. In doing so, she brings to light the many complexities of defining Indigenous citizenship and governance in the twenty-first century. By situating the 2004-6 Osage Nation reform process within its historical and current contexts, Dennison illustrates how the Osage have creatively responded to continuing assaults on their nationhood. A fascinating account of a nation in the midst of its own remaking, Colonial Entanglement presents a sharp analysis of how legacies of European invasion and settlement in North America continue to affect Indigenous peoples views of selfhood and nationhood.

Decolonizing Museums
Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums Amy Lonetree
Museum exhibitions focusing on Native American history have long been curator controlled. However, a shift is occurring, giving Indigenous people a larger role in determining exhibition content. In Decolonizing Museums, Amy Lonetree examines the complexities of these new relationships with an eye toward exploring how museums can grapple with centuries of unresolved trauma as they tell the stories of Native peoples. She investigates how museums can honor Indigenous worldviews and ways of knowing, challenge stereotypical representations, and speak the hard truths of colonization within exhibition spaces to address the persistent legacies of historical unresolved grief in Native communities. Lonetree focuses on the representation of Native Americans in exhibitions at the Smithsonians National Museum of the American Indian, the Mille Lacs Indian Museum in Minnesota, and the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways in Michigan. Drawing on her experiences as an Indigenous scholar and museum professional, Lonetree analyzes exhibition texts and images, records of exhibition development, and interviews with staff members. She addresses historical and contemporary museum practices and charts possible paths for the future curation and presentation of Native lifeways. Amy Lonetree (Ho-Chunk) is associate professor of American studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and co-editor, with Amanda J.

Crooked Paths to Allotment

The Fight over Federal Indian Policy after the Civil War C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa
Standard narratives of Native American history view the nineteenth century in terms of steadily declining Indigenous sovereignty, from removal of southeastern tribes to the 1887 General Allotment Act. In Crooked Paths to Allotment, C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa complicates these narratives, focusing on political moments when viable alternatives to federal assimilation policies arose. In these moments, Native American reformers and their white allies challenged coercive practices and offered visions for policies that might have allowed Indigenous nations to adapt at their own pace and on their own terms. Examining the contests over Indian policy from Reconstruction through the Gilded Age, Genetin-Pilawa reveals the contingent state of American settler colonialism. Genetin-Pilawa focuses on reformers and activists, including Tonawanda Seneca Ely S. Parker and Council Fire editor Thomas A. Bland, whose contributions to Indian policy debates have heretofore been underappreciated. He reveals how these men and their allies opposed such policies as forced land allotment, the elimination of traditional cultural practices, mandatory boarding school education for Indian youth, and compulsory participation in the market economy. Although the mainstream supporters of assimilation successfully repressed these efforts, the ideas and policy frameworks they espoused established a tradition of dissent against disruptive colonial governance. C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa is assistant professor of history at Illinois College. 248 pp. / 6.125 x 9.25 / 2012 Cloth, 978-0-8078-3576-0, $39.95

Through rigorous historical research, sophisticated analysis and a deft writing touch, Joseph GenetinPilawa offers a compelling and important counternarrative to the standard readings of the development of late nineteenth-century U.S. Indian policy. In taking serious account of Indigenous peoples political agency, especially that of Ely S. Parker, Genetin-Pilawa offers a model for historical scholarship in this field. Crooked Paths to Allotment is an excellent work, a must-read for students and scholars of U.S.-Indigenous relations and history.

Federal Fathers and Mothers

A Social History of the United States Indian Service, 1869-1933 Cathleen D. Cahill
Established in 1824, the United States Indian Service (USIS), now known as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was the agency responsible for carrying out U.S. treaty and trust obligations to American Indians, but it also sought to civilize and assimilate them. In Federal Fathers and Mothers, Cathleen Cahill offers the first in-depth social history of the agency during the height of its assimilation efforts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Making extensive and original use of federal personnel files and other archival materials, Cahill examines how assimilation practices were developed and enacted by an unusually diverse group of women and men, whites and Indians, married couples and single people. Cahill argues that the Indian Service pursued a strategy of intimate colonialism, using employees as surrogate parents and model families in order to shift Native Americans allegiances from tribal kinship networks to Euro-American familial structures and, ultimately, the U.S. government. In seeking to remove Indians from federal wardship, the government experimented with new forms of maternalist social provision, which later influenced U.S. colonialism overseas. Cathleen D. Cahill is associate professor of history at the University of New Mexico. 384 pp. / 6.125 x 9.25/ 2011 Paper, 978-1-4696-0681-1, $24.95 Cloth, 978-0-8078-3472-5, $45.00

The Indian School on Magnolia Avenue

Voices and Images from Sherman Institute Edited by Clifford E. Trafzer, Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert and Lorene Sisquoc
The Indian School on Magnolia Avenue reveals the fascinating story of Sherman Institute, an influential off-reservation boarding school in Riverside, California. This flagship institution was opened by the federal government in 1902 to transform American Indian students into productive farmers, carpenters, homemakers, nurses, cooks, and seamstresses.
Indian students helped build the school and worked there daily; administrators provided vocational education and placed students in employment through the Outing Program. Indian School on Magnolia Avenue draws on materials held at the Sherman Indian Museum to explore topics such as the building of Sherman, the schools Mission architecture, the nursing program, the Special Five-Year Navajo Program, the Sherman cemetery, and a photographic depiction of life at the school. Despite the fact that Indian boarding schoolswith their agenda of cultural genocide often prevented students from speaking their languages, singing their songs, and practicing their religions, most Sherman Institute students learned to read, write, and speak English, and most survived to benefit themselves and contribute to the well-being of Indian people. Clifford E. Trafzer (Wyandot) is professor of American History and the Rupert Costo Chair in American Indian Affairs at the University of California, Riverside. He has written and edited several books, including Boarding School Blues, Native Universe, and Death Stalks the Yakama. Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert (Hopi) an assistant professor of American Indian Studies and History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has written extensively on Sherman Institute and co-produced a thirty-minute documentary film on the Hopi boarding school experience entitled Beyond the Mesas (www.beyondthemesas.com). Lorene Sisquoc (Cuhilla/ Apache) is Curator of the Sherman Indian School Museum in Riverside, California. She teaches Native American Traditions at Sherman Indian High School, and is a co-editor of Boarding School Blues: Revisiting American Indian Educational Experiences. 232 pp. / 6 x 9 / 2012 Paper, 978-0-87071-693-5, $24.95

Songs of Power and Prayer in the Columbia Plateau

The Jesuit, the Medicine Man, and the Indian Hymn Singer Chad S. Hamill
Songs of Power and Prayer explores the role of song as a transformative force in the twentieth century. It traces a cultural, spiritual, and musical encounter that upended notions of indigeneity and the rules of engagement for Indians and priests in the Columbia Plateau.
Chad Hamills narrative focuses on a Jesuit and his two Indian grandfathersone a medicine man, the other a hymn singerwho together engaged in a collective search for the sacred. The priest became a student of the medicine man. The medicine man became a Catholic. The Indian hymn singer brought Indigenous songs to the Catholic mass. Using song as a thread, these men weaved together two worlds previously at odds, realizing a promise born within prophecies two centuries earlier. Long before Jesuits appeared in Coeur dAlene and Salish country, Indian prophets foretold their arrival. In their respective visions, Circling Raven and Shining Shirt were the first to behold the oddlooking men wearing long black robes, carrying with them little more than crossed sticks and words of a foreign prophet who lived and died a world away. Roughly a century later, the Blackrobes arrived, immediately translating liturgical texts and hymns into the Salish language. Calling on centuries of Indigenous praxis in which song was prayer, the hymns were very quickly and consciously embodied by the Salish and Coeur dAlene people, reinterpreted and re-sung as expressions of Indigenous identity and spiritual power.

Songs of Power and Prayer in the Columbia Plateau reveals how song can bridge worlds, both between the individual and Spirit and the Jesuits and the Indians. Whether sung in an Indigenous ceremony or adapted for Catholic Indian services, song abides as a force that strengthens Native identity and acts as a conduit for power and prayer.
Chad S. Hamill is an assistant professor of ethnomusicology at Northern Arizona University, where he serves as co-chair for the Commission for Native Americans. Of Spokane and non-Indian descent, he has also served as Associate Director of the Plateau Center of American Indian Studies at Washington State University. 192 pp. / 6 x 9/ 2012 Paper, 978-0-87071-675-1, $21.95 For audio files and more about this book, visit: www.songsofpowerandprayer.com

Asserting Native Resilience

Pacific Rim Indigenous Nations Face the Climate Crisis Edited by Zoltn Grossman and Alan Parker
Indigenous nations are on the front line of the climate crisis of the twenty-first century. Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Indigenous peoples around the Pacific Rim have already been deeply affected by droughts, flooding, reduced glaciers and snowmelts, seasonal shifts in winds and storms, and the northward shifting of species on the land and in the ocean. Native peoples are developing responses to climate changedefenses to strengthen their communities, mitigate losses, and adapt where possible that can serve as a model for Native and non-Native communities alike.

Asserting Native Resilience presents a rich variety of perspectives on Indigenous responses to the climate crisis, reflecting the voices of more than twenty contributors, including tribal leaders, Native and non-Native scientists, scholars, and activists from the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Alaska, and Aotearoa / New Zealand. Also included is a resource directory of Indigenous governments, NGOs, and communities that are researching and responding to climate change and a community organizing booklet for use by Northwest tribes.
Zoltn Grossman is a senior research associate with the Northwest Indian Applied Research Institute and a professor of geography and Native American and World Indigenous Peoples Studies at The Evergreen State College. Alan Parker is director of the Northwest Indian Applied Research Institute and a professor in the graduate MPA program at The Evergreen State College. 240 pp. / 7 x 10 / 2012 Paper, 978-0-87071-663-8, $24.95

In the times of the unraveling of our world, it is essential to stand against the combustion, mining and disregard for life. Life is in water, air, and relatives who have wings, fins, roots, and paws, and all of them are threatened by climate change--as are people themselves. Parker and Grossman have done an and the people who are standing to make a difference for all of us. Change is indeed made by people, and climate change must be addressed by a movement, strong, strident, and courageous.

At the Border of Empires

The Tohono Oodham, Gender, and Assimilation, 1880-1934 Andrae M. Marak and Laura Tuennerman
Beginning in the 1880s, the US government implemented programs to eliminate vice among the Tohono Oodham and to encourage the morals of the majority culture as the basis of a process of Americanization. This book examines the mediation between cultures, the officials who sometimes developed policies based on personal beliefs and gender biases, and the Native people whose lives were impacted as a result. These issues are brought into useful relief by comparing the experiences of the Tohono Oodham on two sides of a border that was, from a Native perspective, totally arbitrary. 232 pp. / 6 x 9 / March 2013 Cloth, 978-0-8165-2115-9, $55.00

Indigenous Agency in the Amazon

The Mojos in Liberal and Rubber-Boom Bolivia, 1842-1932 Gary Van Valen
The largest group of Indigenous people in the Bolivian Amazon, the Mojos, has coexisted with non-Natives since the late 1600s, when they accepted Jesuit missionaries into their homeland, converted to Catholicism, and adapted their traditional lifestyle to the conventions of mission life. Nearly two hundred years later they faced two new challenges: liberalism and the rubber boom. Van Valen demonstrates that the Mojos were able to survive the rubber boom, claim the right of equality promised by the liberal state, and preserve important elements of the culture they inherited from the missions. 264 pp. / 6 x 9 / February 2013 Cloth, 978-0-8165-2118-0, $55.00

Black Slaves, Indian Masters

Slavery, Emancipation, and Citizenship in the Native American South Barbara Krauthamer
From the late eighteenth century through the end of the Civil War, Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians bought, sold, and owned Africans and African Americans as slaves, a fact that persisted after the tribes removal from the Deep South to Indian Territory. Krauthamers examination of slavery and emancipation highlights the ways Indian womens gender roles changed with the arrival of slavery and changed again after emancipation and reveals complex dynamics of race that shaped the lives of black people and Indians both before and after removal. 240 pp. / 6.125 x 9.25 / June 2013 Cloth, 978-1-4696-0710-8, $34.95

Survival Schools
The American Indian Movement and Community Education in the Twin Cities Julie L. Davis
In 1972, motivated by prejudice in the child welfare system and hostility in the public schools, AIM organizers and local Native parents started their own community school. The story of these schools, unfolding through the voices of activists, teachers, and families, is also a history of AIMs founding and community organizing and evidence of its long-term effect on Indian peoples lives. For the first time, Julie L. Davis gives us an essential view of one of the American Indian Movements most audacious and long-lasting achievements: the creation of schools for the lost Native kids of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Sympathetic but never sentimental, she captures the righteous anger, new-found hope, and rugged determination that turned dreams into reality.

Our Initiative
In January 2009, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded a collaborative grant to four university presses: the University of Arizona Press, the University of North Carolina Press, the University of Minnesota Press, and the Oregon State University Press. The grant established an innovative partnership that supports the publication of over 40 books, and it creates the means for the presses to collaborate in their mission to further scholarly communication in the field of Indigenous studies. Books that are published in the First Peoples initiative demonstrate the ways Indigenous traditional and lived experiences contribute to and reframe discourses on the history, culture, identity, and rights of Indigenous peoples worldwide. Our books explore the field of Indigenous studies, which is being defined globally by core concepts, such as indigeneity, sovereignty, and traditional knowledge. Our publishing initiative publishes the best and most robust scholarship by authors whose publications will contribute to the development of the field. In this collaborative effort, each publishing partner brings special foci and expertise in Native American and Indigenous studies.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PRESS The University of Arizona Press Indigenous studies publications include works in the areas of ethnohistory, contemporary issues such as Indigenous rights and resource management, language revitalization, ethnoecology, collaborative archaeology, ethnography, gender studies, literature, and the arts. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS The University of Minnesota Press is interested in interdisciplinary Native and Indigenous studies works arising out of anthropology, sociology, political science, and literary and cultural studies, with a special emphasis on global Indigenous cultures. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS The University of North Carolina Press seeks to publish innovative, interdisciplinary scholarship on Indigenous history, culture, law and policy; traditions of expression and performance in literature, music, media and the arts; material culture; Indigenous religion; and Indigenous environmental studies. It is also keenly interested in recent and contemporary histories of activism for and expressions of Indigenous political, economic, and cultural sovereignty. OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS The Oregon State University Press publishing focus centers on history, culture, language, and cultural resource management. Additional publishing foci include Native American and Indigenous perspectives on the cultural, social, and/or physical impacts of climate change, natural resource management, agriculture and food, geography and cartography, environmental matters, and practice and representation in the arts.
