A primary text in the area of federal Indian law.
This is, according to publisher William S. Hein & Co., a "reprint edition" of the Handbook of Federal Indian Law, written by Felix S. Cohen while he was in the Office of the Solicitor at the Department of the Interior. As a reprint, the original title page is included and shows that this is the "Third printing 1942" version. This page also indicates that 1942 was the original date of publication. In other words, this *is* a reprint of the original work by Cohen, and it includes the Foreword by the Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes; the Introduction by Cohen's supervisor, Nathan R, Margold; and an Acknowledgements section by the author. Hein reproduced this text because the original publication, and a 1971 reprint edition produced by the American Indian Law Center and the University of New Mexico, were out of print, and this is - without doubt - a primary text in the area of federal Indian law. In 1982, an updated version of the Handbook, edited by Rennard Strickland, Charles F. Wilkinson, and others, was published under the title Felix S. Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law (Michie; ISBN 0-87215-413-0). This rendition was described as "a more thorough-going revision of Cohen's work than was first anticipated" (p. x). Their introduction discussed the history, uses, and popularity of the 1942 Handbook and of the 1971 reprint. The 1982 volume, however, was presented in a different manner than Cohen's 1942 Handbook, but it did include legislative and legal materials through March 1981.

Product Description
Archaeological digs have turned up sculptures in Inuit lands that are thousands of years old, but "Inuit art" as it is known today only dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Early art was traditionally produced from soft materials such as whalebone, and tools and objects were also fashioned out of stone, bone, and ivory because these materials were readily available. The Inuit people are known not just for their sculpture but for their graphic art as well, the most prominent forms being lithographs and stonecuts. This work affords easy access to information to those interested in any type of Inuit art. There are annotated entries on over 3,761 articles, books, catalogues, government documents, and other publications. ... Read more

Product Description
This companion volume to Beidler and Egge's "Native Americans in the Saturday Evening Post" expands upon the fictional short stories that mention or focus on Native Americans. Covering a period of 71 years (1897-1969), this compilation of summaries of 265 short stories shows how the fictional depiction of Native Americans changed chronologically from the end of the Indian Wars to the "Native American Renaissance" of the 1960's. The majority of these tales highlight Caucasian attitudes toward Indians, which generally ranged from pure racial hatred at worst, to apathy at best, placing race relations in a historical context. This annotated bibliography provides detailed summaries of each of the stories with specific focus on the Native American aspects. Each story provides insights into the prevailing negative stereotypes of the time that the authors either exploited or denied in their stories. Also, since many of the stories share characters, settings, and themes, the authors have provided parenthetical cross-references, in order to easily display their interconnectedness. The book concludes with an author index, a subject index, and an extensive tribe index containing the various spellings used in the stories. ... Read more

Product Description
The domination of Native Americans began in 1492 and continues in varying degrees of intensity through the present. This bibliography is focused on the history of the imposition of policies upon Native Americans by the governments of other peoples. All of the books and articles included in this work were selected because they represent activities in which Native Peoples were forced into work, religion, or a lifestyle that ran contrary to their traditions. This broad hemispheric approach to the history of national governments' Native American policies allows Magnaghi to show the similarities and differences of European attitudes toward Native Americans through a variety of Eurocentric experiences. The configuration of the topics is this volume is unusual among Native American bibliographies. Slavery, Labor, Evangelization, and Captivity were selected to broadly categorize titles based on the conditions that were imposed upon Native Americans. They provide a framework for analyzing to what degree Native Americans have responded to and been transformed by these conditions. The work is subdivided into geographical regions for easier utilization. The books and journal articles included were written in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, allowing a broad sampling of areas and national experiences to be analyzed and compared. An excellent resource for researchers and scholars of Native American studies that will provide a rich set of avenues to expand upon the study of the Native American experience. ... Read more

Product Description
The Navajo are the largest tribe of Indians in the United States and, due in part to a fascination with their relative isolation, have been analyzed in numerous documentaries. In this timely supplement to the "Navajo Bibliography", Howard M. Bahr engages in a unique postmodern approach to his bibliography of the Navajo culture by combining health-related, artistic, economic, religious, social, scientific, and other literature on the Navajo into one study. The bibliography skillfully downplays disciplinary boundaries by unifying literature that has previously only offered separate classification and access. The more than 6,300 entries are selectively annotated and cover Navajo literature from 1970 to 1990, as well as newly discovered literature, including Franciscans' literature, that was not included in the original "Navajo Bibliography". This bibliography is not only the most comprehensive bibliography to date in its coverage of more than two decades of new material, but the only source that supplements the professional literature with local and cultural works. An exhaustive resource that effectively doubles the expanse of Navajo literature surveyed and indexed, "DinŽ Bibliography to the 1990s" is an invaluable tool that both highlights the literature already available and expands such data to include coverage of genres that have been previously underrepresented. ...
