Frank Hamilton Cushing's stay at Zu_i pueblo from 1879 to 1884 made him the first professional anthropologist actually to live with his subjects. Learning the language and winning acceptance as a member not only of the tribe but of the tribal council and the Bow Priesthood, he was the original participant observer and the only man in history to hold the double title of "1st War Chief of Zu_i, U. S. Ass't Ethnologist." A pioneer in southwestern ethnology, he combined the discipline of science with a remarkable imaginative capacity for identifying with Indian modes of thought and perception?and corresponding gifts of expression.
Presents the previously unpublished account, by the great anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing, of the origins and early months of the Hemenway Expedition to the American Southwest in the late 19th century, which sought to trace the ancestors of the Zuni Indians.

In 1879 Frank Hamilton Cushing rode unannounced into Zuni Pueblo. Sent by the Smithsonian Institution, he stayed at Zuni until 1884 and became the world's first live-in anthropologist. His writings gave Zuni a fame it never sought. Now Phil Hughte turns the tables on Cushing. His drawings tell the story of Cushing from the Zuni perspective, with anthropological commentaries by Triloki Nath Pandey, Jim Ostler, and Krisztina Kosse. This unique book will be relished especially by anthropologists, American Indians, and other people who partake of more than one culture.
