Voices of a Thousand People: The Makah Cultural and Research Center de Patricia Pierce Erikson

Voices of a Thousand People: The Makah Cultural and Research Center

Autor Patricia Pierce Erikson Cuvânt înainte de Janine Bowechop
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2005
Voices of a Thousand People is the story of one Native community’s efforts to found their own museum and empower themselves to represent their ancient traditional lifeways, their historic experiences with colonialism, and their contemporary efforts to preserve their heritage for generations to come. This ethnography richly portrays how a community embraced the archaeological discovery of Ozette village in 1970 and founded the Makah Cultural and Research Center (MCRC) in 1979. Oral testimonies, participant observation, and archival research weave a vivid portrait of a cultural center that embodies the self-image of a Native American community in tension with the identity assigned to it by others.

Recenzii

"Voices of a Thousand People is an incredible ethnography, deserving a broad audience. It should be required reading for scholars and students of museums, and Indigenous Peoples. At the same time, anthropologists, historians, and museologists will benefit greatly from engaging this case study, while university teachers would be wise to consider using it in a range of courses in Native American studies, museum studies, and anthropology."—C. Richard King, Journal of the West

“[An] excellent case study documenting some of the recent history of the Makah Indian Tribe.”—Pacific Northwest Quarterly

“[One of] the only full-length studies to examine a Native museum in the context of the tribe’s history, the history of Native experience with museums and other outside influences, and the successful reorientation of the museum concept to fit tribal needs.”—Museum News

“Recommended for historians, archeologists, anthropologists, ethnographic specialists, students and museum studies professionals.”—Indigenous Nations Studies Journal
