Americas

What is this place that Americans call the reservation, Canadians call the reserve, and many call "the rez"? For most contemporary Native people, this negotiated space is, was, or will be home.
Reservation X showcases installations created by seven of North America's foremost Native artists--Mary Longman, of Gordon Indian Reserve, Saskatchewan; Nora Naranjo-Morse, of Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico; Marianne Nicolson, of Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia; Shelley Niro, of Six Nations Reserve, Ontario; Jolene Rickard, of the Tuscarora Nation, New York; Mateo Romero, of Cochitl Pueblo, New Mexico; and C. Maxx Stevens, of the Seminole Nations, Oklahoma. Essays and modern and archival photographs set the installations into a rich variety of personal and political contexts.
Gerald McMaster, Nancy Marie Mithlo, Paul Chaat Smith, and Charlotte Townsend-Gault contribute essays on community and identity that range from art theory to pop culture, from historical analysis to anecdote; they also contribute profiles of the artists. Harry Foster provides photographs of the artists' installations, and the artists themselves comment on their lives, their art, and their communities.

Inuit: Glimpses of an Arctic Past

Germain, Georges-Hébert

Morrison, David A.

The first people who came to southern Ontario, almost 11,000 years ago, encountered a landscape much different from that of today. The great ice sheets were melting, feeding lakes that flooded many areas now dry. Conifers dominated the open woodland, and animals including the mastodon, caribou, and Arctic fox inhabited the area. Known to archaeologists as Paleo-Indians, these early residents were among the most expert stone tool makers known anywhere. They returned seasonally to the Parkhill site, on the shore of a glacial lake next to a long narrow estuary, to intercept migrating caribou. Parkhill eventually became a very large site with several distinct activity areas. This volume provides a detailed description and analysis of all aspects of this important archaeological locality.

Archaeology

Perspectives on Northern Northwest Coast Prehistory investigates paleoenvironmental influences on human settlement, theoretical concepts involved in northern Northwest Coast research, and the interplay of aboriginal oral traditions and archaeological findings. Consideration is given to the biological relationships of ancient and historic human populatins, preserved organics and their role in the identification of ethnicity, zooarchaeological remains and their bearing on subsistence and seasonality, the emergence and maintenance of ranked society, and protohistoric competition and trade. A final chapter treats the crucial issue of site preservation and increasing First Nations involvement. Thirteen scientists provide insight into the archaeology of the north coast of British Columbia in celebration of fieldwork begun by George F. MacDonald for the National Museum of Canada in 1966. A decadeÕs worth of field seasons saw excavation at 18 sites representing 5000 years of human occupation. The introduction provides an overview of fieldwork at Prince Rupert Harbour where most of the archaeology was done. Jerome S. Cybulski is Curator of Physical Anthropology at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
