Anna Moore Shaw (Pima)
"A most interesting book. . . . Her account of how the Pima Indians lived, their family structure, how they reared their children, courtship and marriage, how they treated their elders, their religious practices before the coming of a Christian missionary in 1870, and their accommodation with death are related in language that can be easily understood by the layman and, yet, provide information which can be used by the sociologist and anthropologist." —Journal of the West

Darren Bonaparte (Mohawk)
In addition to the wampum belts that form our archives, the People of the Longhouse have also recorded our history and culture in written documents.  This Rotinonhsón:ni literary tradition reached its zenith in the 19th century, with the works of men like Joseph Brant, Major John Norton, David Cusick, J. N. B. Hewitt, Seth Newhouse, and John Arthur Gibson, to name just a few.  They have preserved for us not only our creation story and epic of confederation, but the story of our own evolution.

Margaret M. Bruchac This comprehensive reader on indigenous archaeology shows that collaboration has become a key part of ar­chaeology and heritage practice worldwide. Collabora­tive projects and projects directed and conducted by in­digenous peoples independently have become standard, community concerns are routinely addressed, and oral histories are commonly incorporated into research. This volume begins with a substantial section on theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, then presents key arti­cles from around the globe in sections on Oceania, North America, Mesoamerica and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe . Editorial introductions to each piece con­textualize them in the intersection of archaeology and indigenous studies. This major collection is an ideal text for courses in indigenous studies, archaeology, heritage management, and related fields. Left Coast Press. Sponsored by the World Archeaological Congress.
