Time and Memories: Histories and Stories of a Shinnecock-Apache-Hungarian Family
This is a book containing oral histories and stories of one family of varying ethnicities: Shinnecock Indian, Apache Indian, and Hungarian
Time and Memories
David Bunn Martine, born in 1960, is Shinnecock/Montauk, Nednai-Chiricahua Apache through his mother and maternal grandfather. Martine is an accomplished artist who has lived most of his life on the Shinnecock Reservation. In contrast to the "as told to" biographies of Native Americans that are subject to manipulation by non-Indian authors, Martine provides the reader with a first-hand narrative based on his own experiences and on his taped interviews of his mother, grandmother, father and uncle. This rich oral folk history is supplemented with photographs documenting his family history and the annual tribal ceremonies on the Shinnecock Reservation. There are few voices of contemporary eastern Algonquian peoples in the ethnographic literature. This book, therefore, is a valuable resource for scholars and for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Long Island Indians.
The Old Becomes the New
The Old Becomes the New: New York Movement in Contemporary Native Art and the New York School, an historical survey exhibition of twenty three contemporary Native American artists living and working in New York City (1943-2013) together with five highly seminal artists of the New York School. This is the first exhibition revealing the historical relationship between the New York School and the evolution of Native modernism.

The Montaukett Indians of Eastern Long Island
Although the Montaukett were among the first tribes to establish relations with the English in the seventeenth century, until now very little has been written about the evolution of their interaction with the settlers. John A. Strong, a noted authority on the Indians of New York State's Long Island, has written a concise history that focuses on the issue of land tenure in the relations between the English and the Montaukett. This study covers the period from the earliest contacts to the New York Appellate Court decision in 1917—which declared the tribe to be extinct—to their current battle for the federal recognition necessary to reclaim portions of their land. Strong also looks at related issues such as cultural assimilation, political and social tensions, and patterns of economic dependency among the Montaukett.
Shinnecock Indian Nation
The history of the "People of the Shore" detailed in Shinnecock Indian Nation. The Shinnecock have resided along the shores of eastern Long Island for more than 10,000 years. These hunter-gatherers were also skilled whalers who first tackled the Atlantic in their dugout canoes and later became highly regarded crew members on 19th-century whaling ships that sailed the globe. The Shinnecock were also noted wampum makers, using the northern quahog hard-shelled clam and whelk shells to craft some of the finest-quality wampum beads to be found anywhere along the eastern seaboard. Since the first tall ships sailed into the local waters in the 1500s, new settlers and shifty land deals have diminished the ancestral territory of the Shinnecock Indian Nation. Despite overwhelming odds, however, and in the midst of immense privilege and wealth of their Hamptons neighbors, the Shinnecock remain. They are a federally recognized tribe with more than 1,500 enrolled members and are governed by a seven-member council of trustees.
From Fort Marion to Fort Sill
From 1886 to 1913, hundreds of Chiricahua Apache men, women, and children lived and died as prisoners of war in Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma. Their names, faces, and lives have long been forgotten by history, and for nearly one hundred years these individuals have been nothing more than statistics in the history of the United States' tumultuous war against the Chiricahua Apache. Based on extensive archival research, From Fort Marion to Fort Sill offers long-overdue documentation of the lives and fate of many of these people. This outstanding reference work provides individual biographies for hundreds of the Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war, including those originally classified as POWs i...
North Hempstead
Bordering on Queens to the west and the town of Oyster Bay to the east, North Hempstead can be considered the heart of the Gold Coast--once the highest concentration of wealth and power in the country. As the gateway to New York City, the area was enticing to the rich and famous, including William Cullen Bryant, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Philip Sousa, George M. Cohan, Groucho Marx, and the Vanderbilt, Whitney, Phipps, and Guggenheim families, and they flocked to North Hempstead for homes. With early advances in trains, automobiles, parkways, and even seaplanes, the town was transformed from a farming and estate community into a sprawling suburb. North Hempstead shares photographs documenting its growth and evolution into one of the "Best Places to Live in America." More than 200 images, many published for the first time, portray the town's history, people, buildings, and landmarks.
Knowing Native Arts
Knowing Native Arts brings Nancy Marie Mithlo’s Native insider perspective to understanding the significance of Indigenous arts in national and global milieus. These musings, written from the perspective of a senior academic and curator traversing a dynamic and at turns fraught era of Native self-determination, are a critical appraisal of a system that is often broken for Native peoples seeking equity in the arts. Mithlo addresses crucial issues, such as the professionalization of Native arts scholarship, disparities in philanthropy and training, ethnic fraud, and the receptive scope of Native arts in new global and digital realms. This contribution to the field of fine arts broadens the scope of discussions and offers insights that are often excluded from contemporary appraisals.
