Boundaries Between

The Southern Paiutes, 1775-1995

By: Martha C. Knack

Boundaries Between skillfully relates the history of the Southern Paiutes from their first contacts with Europeans through the end of the twentieth century. In an engaging style, Martha C. Knack combines contemporary oral histories, meticulous archival research, original ethnographic fieldwork, and an astute critical perspective on Indian-white relations. Before the arrival of European Americans, Southern Paiutes foraged the arid hills and valleys of the area known today as southern Utah, northern Arizona, southern Nevada, and southeastern California. By all the ?rules? of history and anthropology, such a small-scale, foraging culture should have disappeared long ago, but the Southern Paiutes survive, and their story unsettles assumptions about the role that social complexity, power, and culture play in the dynamics of human history.

Boundaries Between

The Southern Paiutes, 1775-1995

By: Martha C. Knack

Skillfully combining contemporary oral histories, meticulous archival research, and an astute critical perspective on Indian-white relations, Boundaries Between relates the history of the Southern Paiutes from their first contacts with European trappers and traders through the end of the twentieth century. It is a history that proceeds from encounters with Mormons, miners, and the military to the modern-day struggles of Native peoples over the federal policy of termination and the control of their environment."--BOOK JACKET.
