Bøger i Native Peoples of the Americas serien

In this provocative book, Margaret M. Bruchac, an Indigenous anthropologist, turns the word savage on its head. This book reconceptualizes the details of encounters with Native interlocutors who by turns inspired, facilitated, and resisted the anthropological enterprise. Unlike other texts, this book highlights the intellectual contributions and cultural strategies of unsung Indigenous informants.

Our Hidden Landscapes introduces people to eastern North America's Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes (CSLs)--sacred sites whose principal identifying characteristics are built stone structures that cluster within specific physical landscapes. This volume presents these often unrecognized sites as significant cultural landscapes in need of protection and preservation. Chapters from Indigenous community members, archaeologists, and anthropologists provide a variety of approaches for better understanding, protecting, and preserving these important sacred spaces.
