These essays explore the blending of structural and historical approaches to American Indian anthropology that characterizes the perspective developed by the late Fred Eggan and his students at the University of Chicago. They include studies of kinship and social organization, politics, religion, law, ethnicity, and art. Many reflect Eggan's method of controlled comparison, a tool for reconstructing social and cultural change over time. Together these essays make substantial descriptive contributions to American Indian anthropology, presenting contemporary interpretations of diverse groups from the Hudson Bay Inuit in the north to the Highland Maya of Chiapas in the south. The collection will serve as an introduction to Native American social and cultural anthropology for readers interested in the dynamics of Indian social life.

Reproduced in this two-volume set are hundreds of treaties and agreements made by Indian nations—with, among others, the Continental Congress; England, Spain, and other foreign countries; the Republic of Texas and the Confederate States; railroad companies seeking rights-of-way across Indian land; and other Indian nations. Many were made with the United States but either remained unratified by Congress or were rejected by the Indians themselves after the Senate amended them. Many others are “agreements” made after U.S. treaty making with Indian tribes officially ended in 1871. These documents—augmented by chapter introductions that concisely set each type of treaty in its historical and political context—these documents effectively trace the evolution of American Indian diplomacy in the United States. This volume is the first major accessible compilation since Charles Kappler’s 1904 Indian Affairs, Laws and Treaties. As a group, these documents highlight American Indians’ roles as active agents in international diplomatic affairs.

VESTIGES OF A PROUD NATION : The Ogden B. Read Northern Plains Indian Collection :  This catalogue is the first major scholarly publication devoted to an aspect of the Museum's permanent collections. It is particularly oldest collection in the Museum's holdings and was the first oldest collection in the Museum's holdings and was the first important gift to the Museum under its first director." "The collection is also significant as a historical document of Sioux Indian art and culture. Its unique historical value stems from the fact that its collector had an intrinsic interest in documenting the material culture of the Sioux. The artifacts he collected were items of traditional workmanship fashioned by Native Americans who still pursued the way of the life of their ancestors. "
