 | On the Rez by Ian Frazier
Well-known humor writer Ian Frazier takes a sobering look at life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the South Dakota home of the Oglala Sioux. Frazier's abstract admiration for the Sioux world-view is tempered by the realities of reservation life, which include chronic alcoholism, violence, and poverty, and which add up to what Frazier can characterize only as manifest evil. In his book, he rails against the injustices to which the Oglala Sioux have been subjected, but he also takes the Indians to task for internal problems. The book is a mix of Frazier's account of his own friendship with some of the Oglala Sioux, a history of the Pine Ridge reservation, and biography of some of the reservations' notables, including a young basketball star whose on-court victories were overshadowed by her death in one of the reservation's all-too-frequent car accidents.

 | Zuni & the American Imagination by Eliza McFeely
Through a study of three anthropologists who, in the 1880s, helped popularize the Zuni culture--Frank Cushing, Matilda Stevenson, and Stewart Culin---a scholar critiques the beginnings of anthropology in modern times. She considers the intrusive nature of anthropologists, and the appropriation of artifacts, tales, and folkways, as well as their possible misrepresentation. These representations captured the imagination of many anthropologists who followed, as well as the American people. AUTHOR: Eliza McFeely
