Review
Myth & Memory injects an interesting and crucial "new" narrative into the historical record. -- Kelly Chaves * The Northern Mariner, Vol.XIX, No.1 * The essays provide a fascinating surf of "first contacts" from New Zealand, England, southern Africa, and the Pacific Northwest, from the eighteenth century to today [...]. A plentiful range of new approaches to the genre of the contact narrative distinguishes this impressively interdisciplinary collection, with contributions from historians, anthropologists, linguists, and literary critics. -- Sophie McCall * Canadian Literature, No.197, Summer 2008 * This convincing and solid collection encourages assessment and reassessment of contact narratives. ... Ten scholars from various fields, including history, anthropology, linguistics, and literature, engage in this informative work. ...Edited by University of Victoria historian John Sutton Lutz, the chapters in Myth and Memory integrate a number of global indigenous perspectives. Lutz's extensive insight regarding native and newcomer relations provides a solid basis for editorial expertise of this compendium. -- Corinne George, Simon Fraser University * H-Canada * Exhaustive research by the authoris into the extensive Culin archives held by the museum has produced a fascinating story of a museum career and of a collecting history. * Choice *

Breen (OSAGE CATALOGUE ENTRIES). -- The catalogue section of the book is divided into four parts: the Southwest, California, the Northwest Coast, and the Osage of Oklahoma. Each part contains an essay reviewing Culin's goals and itinerary within the region, his main contacts, and the social and economic conditions that contributed to his success. Based primarily on his hitherto unpublished expedition reports, these essays portray Culin as an indefatigable and competitive collector, exalting in his triumphs but frequently acknowledging confusion and defeat as he faced the challenges of collecting in communities where acculturation had already rendered many native artifacts obsolete. - The objects in this beautifully illustrated book show the remarkable breadth of Culin's collecting and demonstrate the aesthetic and historical significance of his choices. Ranging from tiny amulets to monumental totem poles, they include unusual games such as a string figure made by a Navajo boy, rare ceremonial regalia such as a Maidu feather belt, and outstanding examples of more familiar artifact types. Culin's detailed documentation allows Objects of Myth and Memory to present masterworks of American Indian art in a precise social and historical context.
