This Companion is comprised of 27 original contributions by
leading scholars in the field and summarizes the state of
anthropological knowledge of Indian peoples, as well as the history
that got us to this point.
- Surveys the full range of American Indian anthropology: from
ecological and political-economic questions to topics concerning
religion, language, and expressive culture
- Each chapter provides definitive coverage of its topic, as well
as situating ethnographic and ethnohistorical data into larger
frameworks
- Explores anthropology’s contribution to knowledge, its historic and ongoing complicities with colonialism, and its political and ethical obligations toward the people 'studied'
