Museum of New Mexico Press Nuevo Mexico Profundo Rituals of an IndoHispano
Book SynopsisIn this book, award-winning photographer Miguel Gandert records the sacred rituals and dances of the mestizo peoples of the upper Río Grande in 130 exquisite black-and-white photographs. Included are images of the two great Indo-Hispano regional traditions, the Matachines conquest dance drama, complete with monsters and bull, and the multifaceted Comanches celebration, with its equestrian victory play and boisterous dances. The image and story of Our Lady of Guadalupe are in evidence everywhere in a sacred landscape criss-crossed with procession and pilgrimage. Four essays provide the background for viewing Gandert''s work. Enrique R Lamadrid presents the folkloric context for the rituals and dances, tracing the mixture of Indian and Hispanic elements in the public celebrations performed today in towns and villages all along the Río Grande. Ramón A Gutiérrez examines how the Río Grande culture travelled up and down the river, defying international borders. Lucy R Lippard discusses the

Museum of New Mexico Press Clearly Indigenous Native Visions Reimagined in
Book SynopsisThe expertise of Native glass artists, in combination with the stories of their cultures, has produced a remarkable new artistic genre. This flowering of glass art in Indian Country is the result of the coming together of two movements that began in the 1960s -- the contemporary Native arts movement, championed by Lloyd Kiva New, and the studio glass art movement, founded by American glass artists such as Dale Chihuly, who started several early teaching programs. Taken together, these two movements created a new dimension of cultural and artistic expression. The glass art created by American Indian artists is not only a personal expression but also imbued with cultural heritage. Whether reinterpreting traditional iconography or expressing current issues, Native glass artists have created a rich body of work. These artists have melded the aesthetics and properties inherent in glass art with their respective cultural knowledge. The result is the stunning collection of artwork presented h

WW Norton & Co Born of Lakes and Plains MixedDescent Peoples
Book SynopsisFinalist for the 2023 Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize "Immersive and humane." —Jennifer Szalai, New York Times A fresh history of the West grounded in the lives of mixed-descent Native families who first bridged and then collided with racial boundaries.Trade Review"A new way of looking at the American West emerges in this history of the mixing and marrying of Indigenous people and settlers." -- The New Yorker"[Hyde’s] carefully wrought portrait of five families reveals the peculiar challenges faced by these quintessential people of the border." -- H.W. Brands - Washington Post"In this ambitious and utterly successful book, historian Anne F. Hyde has rewritten the story of the American West.…This book is a tour de force. The stories here are poignant—often sad and disturbing, but also inspiring and always thought-provoking.…In short, this is western history retold with families and women at the heart of the narrative." -- Jay Gitlin - Missouri Historical Review"Through stories that are vivid, humane, and powerful, Anne F. Hyde deftly explores families that mixed native and settler cultures in the heart of North America. Sometimes coercive, but often mutual, these intimate relations helped diverse peoples coexist in American borderlands." -- Alan Taylor, author of American Republics"Anne F. Hyde writes compelling, boots-on-the-ground history, telling stories that are personal, poignant, and powerful. This is the way people really lived." -- Elizabeth A. Fenn, author of Encounters at the Heart of the World"Anne F. Hyde deftly reconstructs personal lives and relationships, charting the shift from an Indigenous and fur-trading world where marriage, kinship, and community building transcended racial differences to a world dominated by race and divided by ‘blood.’" -- Colin G. Calloway, author of The Indian World of George Washington"A stunningly rich history of family and survival in the midst of war, forced removal, broken treaties, and racist policies." -- Kathleen DuVal, author of Independence Lost"Powerful, engrossing, and humane." -- Brian DeLay, author of War of a Thousand Deserts"A tour de force—poignant and beautifully written." -- Andrew R. Graybill, author of The Red and the White"Hyde tells stories that are gripping, tragic, inspiring, and, as she shows, essential to understanding the history of this vast region." -- Claudio Saunt, author of Unworthy Republic"Born of Lakes and Plains puts Native people at the heart of a timely new consideration of the ways that intermarriage has confounded—and demanded—the creation of racial categories. It is not to be missed." -- Philip J. Deloria, author of Becoming Mary Sully"Anne F. Hyde’s gripping account of mixed-descent families shows how tangled the real story of this country actually is. It puts our simple stories to shame." -- Richard White, author of Who Killed Jane Stanford?"[A] sweeping history….Hyde’s meticulous research and lucid prose bring her subjects and their complex worlds and canny survival strategies to vivid life. The result is an essential reconsideration of Native American history." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A searching study of the role of mixed-descent people, with Indigenous and other ancestry, over 400 years of American history." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Random House USA Inc 1491
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking study that radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans in 1492.Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus’s landing had crossed the Bering Strait twelve thousand years ago; existed mainly in small, nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas was, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last thirty years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.In a book that startles and persuades, Mann reveals how a new generation of researchers equipped with novel scientific techniques came to previously unheard-of conclusions. Among them:• In 1491 there were probably more people living in the Americas than in Europe.• Certain cities-such as Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital-were far greater in population than any contemporary European city. Furthermore, Tenochtitlán, unlike any capital in Europe at that time, had running water, beautiful botanical gardens, and immaculately clean streets.• The earliest cities in the Western Hemisphere were thriving before the Egyptians built the great pyramids.• Pre-Columbian Indians in Mexico developed corn by a breeding process so sophisticated that the journal Science recently described it as “man’s first, and perhaps the greatest, feat of genetic engineering.”• Amazonian Indians learned how to farm the rain forest without destroying it-a process scientists are studying today in the hope of regaining this lost knowledge.• Native Americans transformed their land so completely that Europeans arrived in a hemisphere already massively “landscaped” by human beings.Mann sheds clarifying light on the methods used to arrive at these new visions of the pre-Columbian Americas and how they have affected our understanding of our history and our thinking about the environment. His book is an exciting and learned account of scientific inquiry and revelation.

MY - University of Toronto Press Indigenous Peoples of North America A Concise Anthropological Overview
Book SynopsisMost books dealing with North American Indigenous peoples are exhaustive in coverage. They provide in-depth discussion of various culture areas which, while valuable, sometimes means that the big picture context is lost. This book offers a corrective to that trend by providing a concise, thematic overview of the key issues facing Indigenous peoples in North America, from prehistory to the present. It integrates a culture area analysis within a thematic approach, covering archaeology, traditional lifeways, the colonial era, and contemporary Indigenous culture. Muckle also explores the history of the relationship between Indigenous peoples and anthropologists with rigor and honesty. The result is a remarkably comprehensive book that provides a strong grounding for understanding Indigenous cultures in North America.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface A Note on Classification, Terminology, and Spelling Acknowledgements 1.

HarperCollins Publishers The NorthWest Is Our Mother
Book SynopsisThere is a missing chapter in the narrative of Canada’s Indigenous peoples—the story of the Métis Nation, a new Indigenous people descended from both First Nations and EuropeansTheir story begins in the last decade of the eighteenth century in the Canadian North-West. Within twenty years the Métis proclaimed themselves a nation and won their first battle. Within forty years they were famous throughout North America for their military skills, their nomadic life and their buffalo hunts. The Métis Nation didn’t just drift slowly into the Canadian consciousness in the early 1800s; it burst onto the scene fully formed. The Métis were flamboyant, defiant, loud and definitely not noble savages. They were nomads with a very different way of being in the world—always on the move, very much in the moment, passionate and fierce. They were romantics and visionaries with big dreams. They battled continuously—for rec
