A Reference Grammar of Kotiria
(Wanano)
Kristine Stenzel
This is the rst descriptive grammar of Kotiria
(Wanano), a member of the Tukanoan language
family spoken in the Vaupes River basin of Co-
lombia and Brazil in the northwest Amazon rain
forest. Today the Kotirias number only about
sixteen hundred people and their language,

Defying Maliseet Language Death
Emergent Vitalities of Language, Culture,
and Identity in Eastern Canada
Bernard C. Perley
The Maliseet language, as spoken in the To-
bique First Nation of New Brunswick, Canada,
is an endangered language that will either
survive through revitalization or die of. This
ethnographic study by Bernard C. Perley, a
member of this First Nation, examines the pro-
cesses of both language death and survival and
languages relationship to indigenous identity.
Perleys detailed discussion of the local
choices Maliseet community members have
made, and continue to make, in regard to lan-
guage maintenance could serve as a model for
other indigenous communities who might be
facing similar language and culture shifts.

The worlds linguistic diversity is diminishing, with more than two hundred languages declared
extinct and thousands more endangered. As these languages disappear, deep stores of knowl-
edge and cultural memory are also lost. The scholarly signicance of these endangered and
extinct languages and literacies provides the impetus for this collaborative initiative supported
by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The following two books are published as part of the Recovering Languages and Literacies
of the Americas (rlla) initiative, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Medicine Way of American Indian History,
Ethos, and Reality
Donald L. Fixico
Donald Fixico challenges scholars of Ameri-
can and Indian history to revise their thinking,
enlarge their seeing, and engage in an efort
to understand Native people and their com-
munities. He constructs a convincing argument
about the uniqueness of Indian history and
his explanation for seeing the world through
Indian lenses leads Fixico to craft a terminology
that makes a great deal of sense.Margaret

Mysteries of the Jaguar Shamans
of the Northwest Amazon
Robin M. Wright
Foreword by Michael J. Harner
Robin M. Wright tells the life story of Mandu
da Silva, the last living jaguar shaman among
the Baniwa people in the northwest Amazon.
Wright, who has known and worked with da
Silva for more than thirty years, weaves the
story of da Silvas life together with the Baniwas
society, history, mythology, cosmology, and
jaguar shaman traditions. The jaguar shamans
are key players in what Wright calls a nexus of
religious power and knowledge.
This volume is the rst mapping of the sacred
geography (mythscape) of the Northern
Arawakspeaking people, demonstrating direct
connections between petroglyphs and other
inscriptions and Baniwa sacred narratives as a
whole.

White Mother to a Dark Race
Settler Colonialism, Maternalism, and
the Removal of Indigenous Children in the
American West and Australia, 18801940
Margaret D. Jacobs
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth cen-
turies, American Indians in the United States
and Aboriginal people in Australia sufered
a common experience at the hands of state
authorities: the removal of their children to
institutions in the name of assimilation. This
groundbreaking study examines the key roles
white women played in these removal policies.
Although some white women developed caring
relationships with indigenous children and
others became critical of government poli-
cies, many became ensnared in this insidious
colonial policy.
An excellent model [that] should encourage
further comparisons between federal Indian
policy and other maternalist projects within
the United States as well as intimate strategies
in other colonial regimes.Western Historical

Cheyenne Accounts of Shield and Tipi Heraldry
James Mooney
Transcribed and edited by
Father Peter J. Powell
According to traditional Cheyenne belief,
shields are living, spirit-lled beings, radiating
supernatural power from the Supreme Being
for protection and blessing. Shields stand at
the nexus of several dimensions of Cheyenne
culture, including spirituality, warfare, and
artistic expression.
From 1902 to 1906, ffty Cheyenne elders
spoke with famed ethnologist James Mooney,
sharing with him their interpretations of shield
and tipi heraldry. Mooneys handwritten eld
notes of these conversations are the single best
source of information on Plains Native shields
and tipi art available and are a source of inesti-
mable value today for both the Cheyennes and
for scholars.
In 1955, with the blessing and permission
of the Keepers of the Two Great Covenants
and the Chiefs and Headmen of the Northern
and Southern Cheyenne People, Father Peter
J. Powell began a ve-decade efort to help
preserve the religion, culture, and history of
the Cheyenne People for the generations ahead.
His transcriptions and annotations of famed
ethnologist James Mooneys notes from 1902 to
1906 on Cheyenne heraldry is the culmination
of these eforts.

Reservation "Capitalism"
Economic Development in Indian Country
Robert J. Miller
Foreword by Tom Daschle
Indians are the poorest people in the United
States, and their reservations are appallingly
poverty-stricken; not surprisingly, they sufer
from the numerous social pathologies that in-
variably accompany such economic conditions.
Historically, however, most tribal communities
were prosperous, composed of healthy, vibrant
societies sustained over hundreds and in some
instances perhaps even thousands of years.
Reservation Capitalism relates the true his-
tory, describes present-day circumstances, and
sketches the potential future of Indian commu-
nities and economics. Robert J. Miller focuses
on strategies for establishing public and private
economic activities on reservations and for
creating economies in which reservation inhab-
itants can be employed, live, and have access to
the necessities of life, circumstances ultimately
promoting complete tribal self-sufciency.
Promises to be the definitive book on
Native American entrepreneurship.
Rennard Strickland, Phillip Knight Distin-
guished Professor of Law and Dean Emeritus,
University of Oregon
Millers book is not only practical but also
realistic and timely. . . . This is recommended
reading for tribal leaders, planners, Indian
and non-Indian entrepreneurs and anyone
interested in seeing a glimpse of the economic
potential that lies in Indian country.Indian
Country Today
While Millers uid style makes his book
accessible to the casual reader, the level of
research and extensive endnotes make this book
a viable choice as the primary textbook for a
course on tribal economic development.

Coming Full Circle
Spirituality and Wellness among Native
Communities in the Pacic Northwest
Suzanne Crawford OBrien
Coming Full Circle is an interdisciplinary explora-
tion of the relationships between spirituality
and health in several contemporary Coast Salish
and Chinook communities in western Wash-
ington from 1805 to 2005. Suzanne Crawford
OBrien examines how these communities de-
ne what it means to be healthy, and how recent
tribal communitybased health programs have
applied this understanding to their missions
and activities. She also explores how contempo-
rary denitions, goals, and activities relating to
health and healing are informed by Coast Salish
history and also by indigenous spiritual views of
the body, which are based on an understanding
of the relationship between self, ecology, and
community.

Borderlands and
Transcultural Studies series
Chiricahua and Janos
Communities of Violence in the Southwestern
Borderlands, 16801880
Lance R. Blyth
Lance R. Blyths study of Chiricahua Apaches
and the presidio of Janos in the U.S.-Mexican
borderlands reveals how no single entity had
a monopoly on coercion, and how violence
became the primary means by which relations
were established, maintained, or altered both
within and between communities.
Blyths argument, as well as his narrative
and use of traditional and nontraditional sourc-
es, is impressive and provides a framework for
understanding the permeating role of violence
in two borderlands communities.
Southwestern American Literature
Chiricahua and Janos represents a valuable
addition to the growing literature examining
violence in zones of intercultural contact, both
in the Americas and around the globe.

Defending Whose Country?
Indigenous Soldiers in the Pacic War
Noah Riseman
Defending Whose Country? is a comparative study
of the military participation of Papua New
Guineans, Yolngu, and Navajos in the Pacic
theater. In examining the decisions of state and
military leaders to bring indigenous peoples
into military service, as well as the decisions of
indigenous individuals to serve in the armed
forces, Noah Riseman reconsiders the impact
of the largely forgotten contributions of indig-
enous soldiers in the Second World War.

Introduction by Heather Cox Richardson
The tragedy at Wounded Knee on a wintry day
in December 1890 has often been written about,
but the existing photographs have received little
attention until now. Eyewitness at Wounded Knee
brings together and assesses for the rst time
some 150 photographs that were made before
and immediately after the massacre. Present
at the scene were two itinerant photographers,
George Trager and Clarence Grant Morelodge,
whose work has never before been published.
For this Bison Books edition each image has
been digitally enhanced and restored, making
the photographs as compelling as the event
itself.

carvers, and tradition-bearers of the twentieth
century. In A Totem Pole History, his daughter,
Pauline Hillaire, ScllaOf the Killer Whale

A Totem Pole History contains 76 photographs,
including Joes most signicant totem poles,
many of which Pauline watched him carve. She
conveys with great insight the stories, teach-
ings, and history expressed by her fathers totem
poles. Eight contributors provide essays on

The Moravian Springplace Mission
to the Cherokees (2-volume set)
Rowena McClinton
Preface by Chad Smith
In 1801 the Moravians, a Pietist German-
speaking group from Central Europe, founded
the Springplace Mission at a site in present-
day northwestern Georgia. The Moravians
remained among the Cherokees for more than
thirty years, longer than any other Christian
group. John and Anna Rosina Gambold served
at the mission from 1805 until Annas death in
1821. The principal author of the diaries, Anna,
chronicles the intimate details of Cherokee
daily life.
Volume 1 includes diary entries from 1805
13, a preface, and an introduction. Volume 2 in-
cludes diary entries from 181421, the editors
epilogue, and a names index and a subject index
for both volumes.
This two-volume set includes the entire text
in translation as well as a critical apparatus,
contextual introductory material, and extensive
notes. Rowena McClintons translation from
German script, an archaic writing convention,
makes these primary eyewitness accounts avail-
able in English for the rst time.
McClintons translated and annotated
edition of the Moravian Springplace Mission
diaries must be recognized as a momentous
work for scholars in a wide variety of fields.

Melungeon ethnic identity in Appalachia has
been socially constructed over time by various
regional and national media, plays, and other
forms of popular culture. Schrift explores how
the social construction of this legend evolved
into a fervent movement of a self-identied
ethnicity in the 1990s. This insightful work
examines shifting social constructions of race,
ethnicity, and identity both in the local context
of the Melungeons and more broadly in an
attempt to understand the formation of ethnic
groups and identity in the modern world.

From Fort Marion to Fort Sill
A Documentary History of the Chiricahua
Apache Prisoners of War, 18861913
Edited and annotated by Alicia Delgadillo,
with Miriam A. Perrett
From Fort Marion to Fort Sill ofers long-overdue
documentation of the lives and fate of hundreds
of Chiricahua Apache men, women, and chil-
dren who lived and died as prisoners of war in
Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma from 1886 to
1913. This outstanding reference work provides
individual biographies for hundreds of these
prisoners of war, including those originally
classied as pows in 1886, infants who lived
only a few days, children removed from families,
and second-generation pows who lived well
into the twenty-rst century.
Their biographies are often poignant and
revealing, and more than 60 previously unpub-
lished photographs give a further glimpse of
their humanity.

Yuchi Indian Histories Before
the Removal Era
Jason Baird Jackson
This rst interdisciplinary history of the Yuchi
(Euchee) peoples prior to Removal corrects the
historical record, which often submerges the
Yuchi within the Creek Confederacy instead of
acknowledging the Yuchi as a separate tribe. By
looking at the oral, historical, ethnographic,
linguistic, and archaeological record, the
contributors shows that from the entrada of
Hernando de Soto into the American South in
1541 to the maintenance of community and
identity today, the Yuchis have persisted as a
distinct people.
The editor and contributors deserve con-
gratulations for sustaining the nearly invisible
Yuchi story line. Hope for future information
rests in the questions raised by these and other
scholars.Choice

Households and Hegemony
Early Creek Prestige Goods, Symbolic Capital,
and Social Power
Cameron B. Wesson
The long-term signicance of the household as a
social and economic forceparticularly in rela-
tion to authority positions or institutionshas
remained relatively unexplored in North Ameri-
can archaeology. Drawing together information
from ethnohistoric records and data from one of
the largest excavations in Alabamas history (the
Fusihatchee Project), Cameron B. Wesson exam-
ines the household and its changing relationship
to tribal authority after contact with European
traders and settlers beginning in the sixteenth
century. Wesson demonstrates that change
within Creek culture in the historic period was
shaped by small-scale social units and individual
decisions rather than by the efects of larger
social and political events.

Murder State
Californias Native American Genocide,
18461873
Brendan C. Lindsay
In the second half of the nineteenth century,
the Euro-American citizenry of California
carried out mass genocide against the Native
population of their state, using the processes
and mechanisms of democracy to secure land
and resources for themselves and their private
interests. Murder State is a comprehensive exami-
nation of these events and their early legacy,
calling attention to the misuse of democracy to
justify and commit genocide.
One of the most important works ever
published on the history of American Indians in
California in the mid-nineteenth century.

Survivance
Nicole Tonkovich
The Allotment Plot reexamines the history of
allotment on the Nez Perce Reservation from
1889 to 1892 to account for and emphasize the
Nez Perce side of the story. By including the
Nez Perce responses to allotment and detailing
the tribes agency and interactions with allot-
ment agents Alice C. Fletcher and E. Jane Gay,
Nicole Tonkovich argues that the assimilation-
ist aims of allotment ultimately failed due in
large part to the agency of the Nez Perce people
themselves throughout the allotment process.
Tonkovich provides a vital counternarrative of
the allotment period, which is often portrayed
as disastrous to Native polities.

Modern Blackfeet
Montanans on a Reservation
Malcolm McFee
Introduction by Andrew R. Graybill
Modern Blackfeet sheds light on the politics, eco-
nomics, society, and especially the acculturation
of the Blackfeet Indians of Montana. The results
of McFees long-term research among the
Blackfeet in the 1950s and 1960s make it clear
that acculturation is not simply a linear process
of assimilation or a one-way cultural adaptation
to the impact of Euro-American culture.
McFee reviews the changing policies of the
U.S. government, which were directed initially
at the destruction of all Native customs and
values, then at the promotion of Blackfeet self-
government, and eventually at the threatened
termination of their status.

John Rolfe are less well known. This in-depth
narrative history of the interactions between
English settlers and American Indians during

why the Anglo settlers were unable to establish
a peaceful and productive relationship with
the regions native inhabitants and explains
how the deep prejudices harbored by both
whites and Indians, the incompatibility of their
economic and social systems, and the leader-
ship failures of protagonists such as John Smith,
Powhatan, Opechancanough, and William

The White Earth Nation of Anishinaabeg Na-
tives ratied in 2009 a new constitution, the
rst indigenous democratic constitution, on
a reservation in Minnesota. The White Earth
Nation set out to create a constitution that

tion of the White Earth Nation; an introduction
by David E. Wilkins, a legal and political scholar

Together these essays and the text of the Con-
stitution provide direct insight into the process
of the delegate deliberations, the writing and
ratication of this groundbreaking document,
and the current constitutional, legal, and politi-
cal debates about new constitutions.

Some Things Are Not Forgotten
A Pawnee Family Remembers
Martha Royce Blaine
The Blaine family was among the Pawnees forc-
ibly removed to Indian Territory in 187475. By
the early twentieth century, disease and starva-
tion had wiped out nearly three-quarters of the
reservations population. Government boarding
schools refused to teach Pawnee customs and
language, and many Pawnees found themselves
without a community when their promised land
was allotted to individuals and the rest sold as
surplus to white settlers.
Some Things Are Not Forgotten reveals the
strengths of character and culture that enabled
the Blaine family to persevere during the reser-
vation years. Perhaps most unforgettable are the
childhood memories of Garland Blaine, the late
husband of the author, who became head chief
of the Pawnees in 1964.

Filming the Legend of Atanarjuat
Michael Robert Evans
One of the most important Native lms, Atanar-
juat, the Fast Runner was the rst feature lm
written, directed, and acted entirely in Inuktitut,
the language of Canadas Inuit people, and it
became an international phenomenon. Michael
Robert Evans explores how the epic lm artfully
married the latest in video technology with the
traditional storytelling of the Inuit.
Tracing Atanarjuat from inception through
production to reception, Evans shows how the
lmmakers managed this complex intercultural
marriage; how Igloolik Isuma Productions,
the worlds premier indigenous lm company,
works; and how Inuit history and culture
afected the lms production, release, and
worldwide response.
This will be a welcome reference book for
any serious student of lm studies, regardless
of genre.ForeWord

Sovereign Screens
Aboriginal Media on the Canadian West Coast
Kristin L. Dowell
As the rst ethnography of the Aboriginal
media community in Vancouver, Sovereign
Screens reveals the various social forces shaping
Aboriginal media production including com-
munity media organizations and avant-garde
art centers, as well as the national spaces of
cultural policy and media institutions. Kristin
L. Dowell uses the concept of visual sovereignty
to examine the practices, forms, and meanings
through which Aboriginal lmmakers tell their
individual stories and those of their Aboriginal
nations and the intertribal urban communities
in which they work.
[A] beautifully detailed ethnography of
Vancouvers growing Aboriginal media hub.
. . . Dowell convincingly argues that Aboriginal
media is an act of visual sovereignty.Jennifer

Reservation Reelism
Redfacing, Visual Sovereignty, and
Representations of Native Americans in Film
Michelle H. Raheja
Michelle H. Raheja ofers the rst book-length
study of the Indigenous actors, directors, and
spectators who not only helped shape Holly-
woods representation of Indigenous peoples
but also, through their very participation,
complicated the dominant, and usually negative,
messages about Native peoples in lm.
An exceptional addition to the growing
scholarship on American Indian representation
in film, this book complicates the dichotomy of
powerful Hollywood and Native victims.

Native Storiers: A series
of American Narratives
Chair of Tears
Gerald Vizenor
A pointed, satirical novel about a universitys Na-

is an irresistible story of original ideas that gets
to the heart of questions about identity politics,
multiculturalism, pedantry, and timely virtues.
An intriguing, fun, and intelligent read.
Publishers Weekly
The gullibility of cultural studies depart-
ments is an easy target for satire and, after a
long and distinguished career of activism and
teaching, Gerald Vizenor has surely earned
the right to poke as many academic eyes as he
wants. . . . [Chair of Tears is] often bitterly funny,

teur has the irony dogs well under his com-
mand.Shelf Awareness

The Blind Man and the Loon
The Story of a Tale
Craig Mishler
Foreword by Robin Ridington
The story of the Blind Man and the Loon is a
living Native folktale about a blind man who is
betrayed by his mother or wife but whose vision
is magically restored by a kind loon. Folklorist
Craig Mishler goes back to 1827, tracing the
storys emergence across Greenland and North
America in manuscripts, books, and in the visual
arts and other media such as lm, music, and
dance theater. Examining and comparing the
storys variants and permutations across cultures
in detail, Mishler brings the individual storyteller
into his analysis of how the tale changed over
time, considering how storytellers and the oral
tradition function within various societies.

Warren K. Urbom
Foreword by William Jay Riley
Called to Justice is the memoir of Nebraska
district federal judge Warren K. Urbom, who
also served as the federal judge on the Wounded

Judge Warren Urbom is a hero to the
Sioux and many other Native Americans who
witnessed his fairness, respect, and commit-
ment to justice in the Wounded Knee trials over
which he presided. That section of his brilliant
and wonderfully written memoir is breathtaking,
as are his accounts of other cases in his career
as a federal judge. Most interesting is to learn
