"Plains Indian History and Culture," an engaging collection of
articles and essays, reflects John C. Ewers multifaceted approach
to Indian history, an approach that combines his far-reaching
interest in American history generally, his professional training
in anthropology, and his many decades of experience as a
field-worker and museum curator.
The author has drawn on interviews collected during a
quarter-century of fieldwork with Indian elders, who in recalling
their own experiences during the buffalo days, revealed unique
insights into Plains Indian life. Ewers use his expertise in
examining Indian-made artifacts and drawings as well as photographs
taken by non-Indian artists who had firsthand contact with Indians.
He throws new light on important changes in Plains Indian culture,
on the history of intertribal relations, and on Indian relation
with whites--traders, missionaries, soldiers, settlers, and the
U.S. Government.
