A challenging and, at times, heartbreaking text. . . . Should be
mandatory reading, for graduate level anthropology, museum studies,

American cultures and representation. Working museum professionals
will gain much from this book, as well."---Journal of Folklore

An important new volume for understanding museum representation in

hard truths of colonization."--Minnesota Historical Society

Lonetree does an admirable job of incorporating Native American
storytelling preferences into a kind of scholarly discourse that is
insightful, critically astute, and a pleasure to read."--Journal of

Lonetree generates compelling ideas for discussion and debate in
the museum field, and these ideas call for practical application in
museums and sites of cultural representation."--Collaborative

uncompromising yet candid statement that no matter how far Western
museums have come in their representations of Native Americans,
there is still much work to be done."--Indigenous Peoples' Issues
