American Indians and Economic Development
By Sebastian Felix Braun
$39.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3904-3 · 280 pages
Some American Indian tribes on the Great Plains have turned to bison
ranching in recent years as a culturally and ecologically sustainable
economic development program. This book focuses on one enterprise
on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation to determine whether such
projects have fulfilled expectations and how they fit with traditional and
contemporary Lakota values.

By Julia A. Jordan
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3968-5 · 240 pages
Julia A. Jordan
Residents of the Great Plains since the early 1500s, the Apache people
were well acquainted with the native flora of the region. In Plains Apache

Ethnobotany, Julia A. Jordan documents more than 110 plant species

valued by the Plains Apache and preserves a wealth of detail concerning
traditional Apache collection, preparation, and use of these plant species
for food, medicine, ritual, and material culture.

“I Choose Life”
Contemporary Medical and Religious Practices in the Navajo World
By Maureen Trudelle Schwarz
$50.00s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3941-8 · 384 pages
$24.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-3961-6 · 384 pages
For Navajo Indians, medical treatments such as surgery, blood transfusion
and CPR conflict with their traditional understanding of health and well-
being, “I Choose Life” investigates how Navajos navigate their medically
and religiously pluralistic world while coping with illness. Schwarz reveals
the ideological conflicts experienced by Navajo patients and the reasons
behind the choices they make to promote their own health and healing.

Patterns of Exchange
Navajo Weavers and Traders
By Teresa J. Wilkins
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3757-5 · 248 pages
The Navajo rugs and textiles people admire and buy today are the result
of many historical influences, particularly the interaction between Navajo
weavers and the traders who guided their production and controlled their
sale. John Lorenzo Hubbell and other late-nineteenth-century traders
were convinced they knew which patterns and colors would appeal to
Anglo-American buyers, and so they heavily encouraged those designs. In
Patterns of Exchange, Teresa J. Wilkins traces how the relationships between
generations of Navajo weavers and traders affected Navajo weaving.

Coach Tommy Thompson and the Boys of Sequoyah

$19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-4070-4 · 256 pages
When eleven-year-old Tommy Thompson arrived at a government-run
Indian boarding school in 1915, it seemed a last resort for the youngster.

others. Thompson went on to become a star athlete and football coach—a
Cherokee legend whose story is remembered by many and is now finally
told for a wider audience.

Inkpaduta
Dakota Leader
By Paul N. Beck
$24.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3950-0 · 176 pages
Leader of the Santee Sioux, Inkpaduta participated in some of the most
decisive battles of the northern Great Plains, including Custer’s defeat at the
Little Bighorn. But the attack in 1857 on forty white settlers known as the
Spirit Lake Massacre gave Inkpaduta the reputation of being the most brutal
of all the Sioux leaders. Paul N. Beck now challenges a century and a half of
bias to reassess the life and legacy of this important Dakota leader.

Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life corrects older, idealized accounts—and draws on
a greater variety of sources than other recent biographies—to expose the
real Crazy Horse: not the brash Sioux warrior we have come to expect but
a modest, reflective man whose courage was anchored in Lakota piety.
Kingsley M. Bray has plumbed interviews of Crazy Horse’s contemporaries
and consulted modern Lakotas to fill in vital details of Crazy Horse’s inner
and public life.

History
Indian Tribes of Oklahoma
A Guide
By Blue Clark
$29.95 Cloth · 978-0-8061-4060-5 · 416 pages
Oklahoma is home to nearly forty American Indian tribes, and it includes
the largest Native population of any state. As a result, many Americans
think of the state as “Indian Country.” For more than half a century
readers have turned to Muriel H. Wright’s A Guide to the Indian Tribes of
Oklahoma as the authoritative source for information on the state’s Native
peoples. Now Blue Clark, an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek)
Nation, has rendered a completely new guide that reflects the drastic
transformation of Indian Country in recent years.

Native People of Southern New England, 1650-1775

By Kathleen J. Bragdon
$32.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4004-9 · 312 pages
Despite the popular assumption that Native American cultures in New
England declined after Europeans arrived, evidence suggests that Indian
communities continued to thrive alongside English colonists. In this
sequel to her Native People of Southern New England, 1500–1650, Kathleen J.
Bragdon continues the Indian story through the end of the colonial era
and documents the impact of colonization.

Indian Alliances and the Spanish in

the Southwest, 750–1750
By William B. Carter
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4009-4 · 312 pages
When considering the history of the Southwest, scholars have typically
viewed Apaches, Navajos, and other Athabaskans as marauders who
preyed on Pueblo towns and Spanish settlements. William Carter now
offers a multilayered reassessment of historical events and environmental
and social change to show how mutually supportive networks among
Native peoples created alliances in the centuries before and after Spanish
settlement.

To Change Them Forever

Indian Education at the Rainy Mountain Boarding School, 1893–1920
By Clyde Ellis
$21.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-3991-3 · 288 pages
Reservation boarding schools represented an important component in
the U.S. government’s campaign in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century to “civilize” American Indians according to Anglo-American
standards. The history of the Rainy Mountain School in southwestern
Oklahoma reveals much about the form and function of the Indian policy
and its consequences for the Kiowa children who attended the school.

The Munsee Indians

A History
By Robert S. Grumet
$45.00s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4062-9 · 464 pages
The Indian sale of Manhattan is one of the world’s most cherished
legends. Few people know that the Indians who made the fabled sale were
Munsees whose ancestral homeland lay between the lower Hudson and
upper Delaware river valleys. The story of the Munsee people has long lain
unnoticed in broader histories of the Delaware Nation. Now, The Munsee
Indians deftly interweaves a mass of archaeological, anthropological, and
archival source material to resurrect the lost history of this forgotten
people, from their earliest contacts with Europeans to their final expulsion
just before the American Revolution.

The Black Hawk War of 1832

By Patrick J. Jung
$19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-3994-4 · 288 pages
In 1832, facing white expansion, the Sauk warrior Black Hawk attempted
to forge a pan-Indian alliance to preserve the homelands of the confeder-
ated Sauk and Fox tribes on the eastern bank of the Mississippi. Patrick J.
Jung here re-examines the causes, course, and consequences of the ensu-
ing war with the United States, a conflict that decimated Black Hawk’s
band. Correcting mistakes that plagued previous histories, and drawing
on recent ethnohistorical interpretations, Jung shows that the outcome
can be understood only by discussing the complexity of intertribal rivalry,
military ineptitude, and racial dynamics.

topic of “environmental justice” through the story of the Campo tribe’s

By Devon Abbott Mihesuah
$32.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4052-0 · 352 pages
During the decades between the Civil War and the establishment of
Oklahoma statehood, Choctaws suffered almost daily from murders,
thefts, and assaults—usually at the hands of white intruders, but
increasingly by Choctaws themselves. This book focuses on two previously
unexplored murder cases to illustrate the intense factionalism that
emerged among tribal members during those lawless years as conservative
Nationalists and pro-assimilation Progressives fought for control of the
Choctaw Nation.

The Seminole Freedmen

By Kevin Mulroy
$36.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3865-7 · 480 pages
Popularly known as “Black Seminoles,” descendants of the Seminole
freedmen of Indian Territory are a unique American cultural group. Now
Kevin Mulroy examines the long history of these people to show that this
label denies them their rightful distinctiveness. To correct misconceptions
of the historical relationship between Africans and Seminole Indians, he
traces the emergence of Seminole-black identity and community from their
eighteenth-century Florida origins to the present day.

Contrary to the impression left by James Fenimore Cooper’s famous novel
Last of the Mohicans, the Mohican people, also known as the Stockbridge-
Munsee Indians, did not disappear from history. Rather, despite obstacles,
they have retained their tribal identity to this day. In this first history of the
modern-day Mohicans, James W. Oberly narrates their story from the time
of their relocation to Wisconsin through the post–World War II era.

Journey to the West

The Alabama and Coushatta Indians
By Sheri Marie Shuck-Hall
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3940-1 · 304 pages
When Europeans battled for control over North America in the
eighteenth century, American Indians were caught in the cross fire.
Two such peoples, the Alabamas and Coushattas, made the difficult
decision to migrate from their ancestral lands and thereby preserve
their world on their own terms. In this book, Sheri Marie Shuck-Hall
traces the gradual movement of the Alabamas and Coushattas from
their origins in the Southeast to their nineteenth-century settlement in
East Texas, exploring their motivations for migrating west and revealing
how their shared experience affected their identity.

Making Peace with Cochise

The 1872 Journal of Captain Joseph Alton Sladen
Edited by Edwin R. Sweeney
$19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-3978-4 · 208 pages
In the autumn of 1872, Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard and his
aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Joseph Alton Sladen, entered Arizona’s rocky
Dragoon Mountains in search of the elusive Chiricahua Apache chief,
Cochise. They sought to convince him that the bloody fighting between
his people and the Americans must stop. Cochise had already reached
that conclusion, but he had found no American official he could trust.
Joseph Sladen’s journal—enriched by Edwin R. Sweeney’s introduction,
epilogue, and lively notes—is a unique source on Chiricahua lifeways and
an engrossing tale of travel and adventure.

A common stereotype about American Indians is that for centuries they
lived in static harmony with nature in a pristine wilderness that remained
unchanged until European colonization. Omer C. Stewart was one of the
first anthropologists to recognize that Native Americans made a significant
impact across a wide range of environments. In Forgotten Fires, editors
Henry T. Lewis and M. Kat Anderson present Stewart’s original research
and insights, first presented in the 1950s yet still provocative today.

Scottish Highlanders and Native Americans

Indigenous Education in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World
By Margaret Connell Szasz
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3861-9 · 304 pages
The Society in Scotland for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge
(SSPCK) was founded in 1709 by Scottish Lowlanders for the education
of Highlanders: specifically to convert them from the Gaelic language
to English, from the Episcopal faith to Presbyterianism, and from latent
Jacobitism to loyalty to the crown. In this first book-length examination
of the SSPCK, Margaret Connell Szasz explores the origins of the Scottish
Society’s policies of cultural colonialism and their influence on two
disparate frontiers. Featuring more than two dozen illustrations, Scottish
Highlanders and Native Americans brims with intriguing comparisons and
insights into two cultures on the cusp of modernity.

$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3842-8 · 344 pages
Often remembered as the president who died shortly after taking office,
William Henry Harrison remains misunderstood by most Americans.
Before becoming the ninth president of the United States in 1841,
Harrison was instrumental in shaping the early years of westward
expansion. Robert M. Owens now explores that era through the lens of
Harrison’s career, providing a new synthesis of his role in the political
development of Indiana Territory and in shaping Indian policy in the Old
Northwest.

Indian Blues
American Indians and the Politics of Music, 1890–1934
By John W. Troutman
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4019-3 · 320 pages
From the late nineteenth century through the 1920s, the U.S. government
sought to control practices of music on reservations and in Indian
boarding schools. In this innovative study, John W. Troutman explores
the politics of music at the turn of the twentieth century in three spheres:
reservations, off-reservation boarding schools, and public venues such as
concert halls and Chautaqua circuits.
“John Troutman brilliantly explores the emergence of a new world of Native music and
dance in the early 1900s. Long awaited and well worth the wait, this book makes a
major contribution to the literature on twentieth-century politics and culture.”
—Philip J. Deloria, author of Playing India

Osage Dictionary
By Carolyn Quintero
$55.00s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3844-2 · 480 pages
The Osage language was spoken until recently by tribal members in
northeastern Oklahoma. No longer in daily use, it was in danger of
extinction. Carolyn Quintero, a linguist raised in Osage County, worked
with the last few fluent speakers of the language to preserve the sounds
and textures of their complex speech. Osage Dictionary is the definitive
lexicon for that tongue, enhanced with thousands of phrases and
sentences that illustrate fine points of usage.

Literature
On Native Ground
Memoirs and Impressions
By Jim Barnes
$16.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4092-6 · 296 pages
On Native Ground takes us from Jim Barnes’s boyhood in rural southeastern
Oklahoma during the Great Depression and World War II through his
mature years as an internationally recognized poet. Of Choctaw and
Welsh ancestry, Barnes is often identified as a Native American poet.
He emphasizes his desire to be recognized for his art, not his blood. Yet
he speaks eloquently here of his attachment to his “native ground,” the
Choctaw region in Oklahoma—for him “the land where memory dwells.”
This edition features a new postscript by the author.

Muting White Noise

Native American and European American Novel Traditions
By James H. Cox
$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3679-0 ·352 pages
$24.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4021-6 · 352 pages
In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated
our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman
Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-
produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work
of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He
thereby develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by
the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism.

The Choctaws in Oklahoma

From Tribe to Nation, 1855-1970
By Clara Sue Kidwell
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3826-8 · 334 pages
$19.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4006-3 · 334 pages
The Choctaws in Oklahoma begins with the Choctaws’ removal from Mississippi
to Indian Territory in the 1830s and then traces the history of the tribe’s
subsequent efforts to retain and expand its rights and to reassert tribal
sovereignty in the late twentieth century. This book illustrates the Choctaws’
remarkable success in asserting their sovereignty and establishing a national
identity in the face of seemingly insurmountable legal obstacles.

Forced Federalism
Contemporary Challenges to Indigenous Nationhood
By Jeff Corntassel and Richard C. Witmer II
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3906-7 · 272 pages
Over the past twenty years, American Indian policy has shifted from self-
determination to “Forced Federalism” as indigenous nations in the United
States have encountered new threats from state and local tribes over such
issues as taxation, gaming, and homeland security. This book demonstrates
how today’s indigenous nations have taken unprecedented steps to reorient
themselves politically in response to such challenges to their sovereignty.

Cash, Color, and Colonialism

The Politics of Tribal Acknowledgment
By Renée Ann Cramer
$24.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-3671-4 · 224 pages
Within the context of U.S.-Indian law, federal acknowledgment establishes
a trust relationship between an Indian tribe and the U.S. government.
Some tribes, however, have not been federally acknowledged, or, in more
common language, “recognized.” In Cash, Color, and Colonialism, Reneé Ann
Cramer offers a comprehensive analysis of the federal acknowledgment
process, placing it in historical, legal, and social context.

Chickasaw Press
Chickasaw Renaissance
By Phillip Carroll Morgan
$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-9797858-8-7 · 240 pages
When Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, the U.S. government
declared Chickasaw titles to tribal lands null and void. The Chickasaw
Nation was, in effect, legally abolished. Yet for the next sixty years, the
Chickasaws struggled to regain their sovereign identity, and eventually, in
1970, Congress enacted legislation allowing the Five Tribes, including the
Chickasaws, to elect their own governing officers. In 1983, the Chickasaws
adopted a new constitution for their nation.
In Chickasaw Renaissance, Phillip Carroll Morgan profiles the experiences of
the Chickasaw people during this tumultuous period in their history, from
the dissolution of their government to the resurgence of their nation.

Unconquered and Unconquerable
By Jeannie Barbour, Dr. Amanda Cobb-Greetham and Linda Hogan
$34.95s Cloth · 978-1-55868-992-3 · 128 pages
From their homelands in the Southeast, to their removal to Indian
Territory, to their status as a thriving nation today, the Chickasaw people
represent one of the most resilient cultures in American history. Through
vivid photographs and insightful essays, this book tells the incredible story
of the Chickasaws.

Chickasaw Lives
Volume One: Explorations in Tribal History
By Richard Green
$24.95s Cloth · 978-0-9797858-1-8 · 238 pages
Arriving from the west ages ago, Chickasaws settled in
a portion of southeastern North America.  They soon
became embroiled in the deadly quest of European
colonial powers to extend their empires to the New
World. By the 1730s, the Chickasaws were targeted for
extermination.
But, as Richard Green shows in Chickasaw Lives, the Chickasaw people survived
and prospered. Then their one-time ally, the United States, forced the tribe to
move west to Indian Territory. After several years of despondency, the people
were again building a great nation. With some Americans clamoring for
Oklahoma statehood, the U.S. government set a date to extinguish the tribe’s
government and land base.  Here for the first time is a selection of articles and
essays that explain why that did not happen.

The second volume in a series of Chickasaw Lives
to be published, this book contains 33 articles
that focus on 36 tribal members, including
extraordinary performers, artists, athletes, and
warriors. These Chickasaw luminaries include
an Olympic gold medalist, a recipient of the
Congressional Medal of Honor, a Chickasaw
Nation attorney general who previously rode with the notorious outlaw
Billy the Kid, an internationally renowned performance artist, a Harvard
researcher who investigates and reports on economic conditions in Indian
Country, and three successive Chickasaw governors who played crucial
roles in the twentieth-century revitalization of the tribe.

Douglas Henry Johnston and the Chickasaws, 1898–1939
By Michael Lovegrove
$24.95s Cloth · 978-0-9797858-7-0 · 256 pages
Douglas Henry Johnston was governor of the Chickasaw Nation from
1898 to 1902 and from 1904 to 1939. His tenure in this position is the
longest of any American Indian chief executive. In this much-anticipated
biography, Michael Lovegrove chronicles Johnston’s remarkable political
life, telling the story of how he led his people—with diplomacy and
efficiency—through the devastating dissolution of tribal lands at the
beginning of the twentieth century and through the contentious struggles
in the three decades that followed.

Woody Crumbo’s Indian Art
By Robert Perry
$29.95s Cloth ·978-0-9797858-5-6 · 256 pages
The life of Woodrow “Woody” Crumbo (1912–1989) parallels the
twentieth-century evolution of American Indian art. An accomplished
Native dancer, flutist, silversmith, and poet, Crumbo is perhaps best
known today for his oil paintings and silk screens—revolutionary artworks
that were denigrated by some critics at first but that helped move Indian
art to museums of fine art, as well as its markets. Now the life story of an
Indian artist who often went against the grain is told by an accomplished
Indian storyteller.

Edmund Pickens lived through a crucial period in Chickasaw history.
During Removal in 1836, he traveled with his wife and children on the
sad journey from the Chickasaw homelands to Indian Territory. Like other
Chickasaws, he faced many hardships after settling in the new territory.
But as Juanita J. Keel Tate shows in this first book-length account of
Pickens’s life and times, he persevered and triumphed as a statesman and
tribal leader.
 
They Know Who They Are
Elders of the Chickasaw Nation
By Mike Larsen and Martha Larsen
$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-9797858-4-9 · 144 pages
In August 2004, Oklahoma Centennial project artist Mike Larsen
approached Chickasaw Nation leaders with an idea to honor living
Chickasaw elders—sages of his own tribe. He wanted to learn about
their families and hear their stories, and he wanted to connect with their
Chickasaw strength and spirit. Larsen’s vision was to paint a series of
portraits of these elders.  They Know Who They Are is a stunning collection of
living Chickasaw elders.

aviator, single mother, and revered Chickasaw elder. Born in 1915 and
raised in Marlow, Oklahoma, Pearl Carter enjoyed a privileged childhood.

mother was half Chickasaw and half Choctaw. When Pearl was twelve, she
met Wiley Post, who was just beginning his aviation career, and he taught
the adventurous young girl how to fly.
 
Picked Apart the Bones
By Rebecca Hatcher Travis
$14.95s Cloth · 978-0-9797858-3-2 · 64 pages
For Rebecca Hatcher Travis, writing a book of poems is similar to growing
a pecan tree. Both take a long time to develop. For the poems in this
exquisite collection, “the seeds were planted in childhood and earth,
and blossomed with family and love.” Hatcher Travis bases her poems
on memories of her Chickasaw family and the Oklahoma landscapes
surrounding her as a child. The poems also are testimonies to the
ancestors who have passed on to the next life.

The wrenching tale of Chief Joseph and his followers is now legendary, but Bear’s Paw is not the entire
story. In fact, nearly three hundred Nez Perces escaped the U.S. Army and fled into Canada. Beyond
Bear’s Paw is the first book to explore the fate of these “nontreaty” Indians. Drawing on hitherto
unexplored Canadian and U.S. sources, including reminiscences of Nez Perce participants, Jerome A.
Greene presents an epic story of human endurance under duress.

The Peyote Road

Religious Freedom and the Native American Church
By Thomas C. Maroukis
$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4109-1 · 272 Pages

The Peyote Road examines the history of the NAC, including its legal struggles to defend the controver-
sial use of peyote. Thomas C. Maroukis has conducted extensive interviews with NAC members and
leaders to craft an authoritative account of the church’s history, diverse religious practices, and sig-
nificant people. His book integrates a narrative history of the peyote faith with analysis of its religious
beliefs and practices—as well as its art and music—and an emphasis on the views of NAC members.

By Laughlin McDonald

More than a record of litigation, American Indians and the Fight for Equal Voting Rights paints a broad
picture of Indian political participation by incorporating expert reports, legislative histories, newspaper
accounts, government archives, and hundreds of interviews with tribal members. As the first in-depth
study of Indian voting rights, it recounts the extraordinary progress American Indians have made—
from the days when they were not regarded as citizens entitled to vote to the present when many
Indians have been elected to public office—and looks toward a more just future.

The Seminole Nation in Oklahoma

A Legal History
By Susan L. Work
$45.00s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4089-6 · 376 Pages

When it adopted a new constitution in 1969, the Seminole Nation was the first of the Five Tribes in
Oklahoma to formally reinvent its government. In the face of an American legal system that sought
either to destroy its nationhood or to impede its self-government, the Seminole Nation tenaciously
retained its internal autonomy, cultural vitality, and economic subsistence. Here, L. Susan Work draws
on her expertise as an attorney and former tribal consultant to present the first legal history of the
twentieth-century Seminole Nation.
