First published in 1954, Robert H. Lowie's Indians of the Plains
surveys in a lucid and concise fashion the history and culture of
the Indian tribes between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains.
The author visited various tribes from 1906 to 1931, observing them
carefully, participating in their lifeways, studying their
languages, and listening to their legends and tales. After a half
century of study, Lowie wrote this book, praised by anthropologists
as the synthesis of a lifetime's work. A preface by Raymond J.
DeMallie situates the book in the history of American anthropology
and describes information and changes in interpretation that have
emerged since Indians of the Plains first appeared. Robert H. Lowie
(1883-1957) studied under Franz Boas at Columbia University and
from 1907 to 1921 served on the staff of the American Museum of
Natural History. Recipient of many professional awards, he was a
professor of anthropology at the University of California for over
thirty years. Raymond J. DeMallie is a professor of anthropology
and director of the American Indian Studies Research Institute at
Indiana University. His many publications include The Sixth
Grandfather: Black Elk's Teachings Given to John G. Neihardt, also
available as a Bison Books edition.
