Defying Maliseet Language DeathEmergent Vitalities of Language, Culture, and Identity in Eastern CanadaBernard 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 off. 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 significance 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.

1History & CultureCall for ChangeThe Medicine Way of American Indian History, Ethos, and RealityDonald L. Fixico

Donald Fixico challenges scholars of Ameri-can and Indian history to revise their thinking, enlarge their seeing, and engage in an effort 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 Connell Szasz, Regents Professor of Native American and Celtic History at the University of New Mexico June 2013 264 pp. 10 diagrams$50.00 hardcover 978-0-8032-4356-9 Mysteries of the Jaguar Shamans of the northwest AmazonRobin M. WrightForeword 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 first 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.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth cen-turies, American Indians in the United States and Aboriginal people in Australia suffered 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 Quarterly A balanced, meticulously researched book filled with heartbreaking stories of loss and uplifting accounts of survival.Great Plains Quarterly This book deserves wide readership in U.S. western history, womens history, Indian history, and comparative ethnic studies.

In Suns Likeness and Power, 2-Volume SetCheyenne Accounts of Shield and Tipi HeraldryJames MooneyTranscribed and edited by Father Peter J. Powell

According to traditional Cheyenne belief, shields are living, spirit-filled 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, fifty Cheyenne elders spoke with famed ethnologist James Mooney, sharing with him their interpretations of shield and tipi heraldry. Mooneys handwritten field 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 five-decade effort 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 efforts.

Reservation "Capitalism"Economic Development in Indian CountryRobert 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 suffer 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-sufficiency. 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 fluid 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 CircleSpirituality and Wellness among Native Communities in the Pacific NorthwestSuzanne 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-fine 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 definitions, 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 seriesChiricahua and JanosCommunities of Violence in the Southwestern Borderlands, 16801880Lance 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.

In this innovative, performative approach to the expressive culture of the Yaqui (Yoeme) peoples of the Sonora and Arizona borderlands, David Delgado Shorter provides an altogether fresh understanding of Yoeme worldviews. Shorter breaks new ground in relating history and ethnography, in contributing to the study of Native American religions, and in emphasiz-ing the significance of spatial relationships to cultural realities.

Becoming MelungeonMaking an Ethnic Identity in the Appalachian SouthMelissa Schrift

Melissa Schrift examines the ways in which the 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-identified 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 SillA Documentary History of the Chiricahua Apache Prisoners of War, 18861913Edited and annotated by Alicia Delgadillo, with Miriam A. Perrett

From Fort Marion to Fort Sill offers 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 classified 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-first century. Their biographies are often poignant and revealing, and more than 60 previously unpub-lished photographs give a further glimpse of their humanity.

This first 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.

Households and HegemonyEarly Creek Prestige Goods, Symbolic Capital, and Social PowerCameron B. Wesson

The long-term significance 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 effects of larger social and political events.

Murder StateCalifornias Native American Genocide, 18461873Brendan 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.

Fletcher, E. Jane Gay, and Nez Perce SurvivanceNicole 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. 2012 440 pp. 63 illustrations, 10 maps, 1 table$65.00 hardcover 978-0-8032-7137-1

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.

On RecordsDelaware Indians, Colonists, and the Media of History and MemoryAndrew Newman

Bridging the fields of indigenous, early Ameri-can, memory, and media studies, On Records illuminates the problems of communication between cultures and across generations. Andrew Newman examines several controver-sial episodes in the historical narrative of the Delaware (Lenape) Indians and their encounters with settlers. As Newman demonstrates, the quest for ideal recordsauthentic, authoritative, and objective, anchored in the past yet intelligible to the pres-enthas haunted historical actors and scholars alike. On Records articulates surprising connec-tions among colonial documents, recorded oral traditions, and material and visual cultures. Its comprehensive, probing analysis of historical evidence yields a multifaceted understanding of events and reveals new insights into the diver-gent memories of a shared past.

Winner of the Oklahoma Historical Society Best Book AwardFinalist for the Oklahoma Book Award Some Things Are not ForgottenA Pawnee Family RemembersMartha 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.

An exemplary contribution to the literature of the Dakota War, a model of academic inquiry and deep understanding grounded in primary sources.Minnesotas Heritage This fascinating edition should help scholars to better understand the complexities of race, gender, and compassion through the voices of those who struggled with them in their own lives.Annals of Iowa 2012 408 pp. 14 illustrations, 4 maps, 2 appendixes$60.00 hardcover 978-0-8032-3530-4 That Dream Shall Have a nameNative Americans Rewriting AmericaDavid L.

Also of InterestCalled to JusticeThe Life of a Federal Trial JudgeWarren K. UrbomForeword 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 Knee trials in 1974. 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 about the man behind the robe, his life and hu-manity.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of The Great Sioux Nation: Sitting in Judgment on America 2012 384 pp. 45 photographs, 1 appendix$36.95 hardcover 978-0-8032-3983-8 law in the american west series

Roger Welsch tells the story of his lifelong rela-tionship with Native American culture, which, beginning in earnest with the study of linguistic practices of the Omaha tribe during a college anthropology course, resulted in his becoming an adopted member and kin of both the Omaha and the Pawnee Tribes.
