Prolific writer Adolf Hungry Wolf offers a wealth of cultural information and historical facts about tribes living in the Northern Rocky Mountains. Includes many old photographs and reprints of original treaties. | Here is an unprecedented look into the lives
of contemporary American Indians. In this bold and engaging anthology of
real-life stories, author Vic Glover reveals the challenges, history,
bonds, and rich traditions that infuse the stark reality of life on the
“rez.” Glover invites you to cruise down the back roads of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, one of the poorest regions in North America, where you’re introduced to his family, friends, and neighbors. In the midst of daily hardships and a rigorous spiritual path, you’ll find a culture of unending sacrifice, tolerance, and generosity. With humor and perseverance they struggle against the social and political forces that shadow their community. This book will touch your heart. For some it will feel like familiar territory; for others an awakening to the struggles and spirit of the people of Indian Country in the 21st century. "Over here, everywhere I look, I see the People struggling. We rely on one another to get by and keep the fire lit.” --Vic Glover "A detailed map of life with dignity in the midst of poverty and daily suffering." --Utne Reader |

Navajo Ceremonial Baskets provides an intimate look at the seminal importance of the ceremonial basket in Navajo culture. Each color, each stitch represents an aspect of nature, life, the people, and their ancestral beginnings. The baskets and the ceremonies in which they are used are essential to the well-being, balance, and harmony of both individuals and the community. Drawing on her intense research into historical documents and interviews with Navajo medicine men, weavers, academics, traders, and cultural teachers, author Georgiana Kennedy Simpson brings new insights into the history and archaeology of Navajo baskets. Her love of the people who weave and use ceremonial baskets shines throughout. Highlights include: * detailed color photographs of vintage and modern baskets * portraits of award-winning basket weavers and their work * illustrations of designs, artifacts, and related objects * techniques for making tight-sealing woven water jars * tips about the etiquette and safekeeping of ceremonial baskets * a glossary of essential Navajo words * As a new generation embraces this sacred art, the ceremonial basket will continue to be an integral part of the landscape in Dinétah, the land of the Navajo.

A vibrant, powerful democracy existed in North America long before the arrival of the Europeans. The Iroquois Confederacy that finally emerged was pledged to peace, and controlled a territory larger than the whole of Europe. Tehanetorens chronicles this pioneering experiment in democracy that stood as a model for the post-Revolutionary American government. |
