Academic Anthropology and the Museum
The museum boom, with its accompanying objectification and politicization of culture, finds its counterpart in the growing interest by social scientists in material culture, much of which is to be found in museums.

Moreover it was forgotten that museums do not...
Bad River
Bad River is a tale of two men: One who builds a grass empire of cattle and horses on the vast Dakota Prairie; the other who follows a trail of violence and bloodshed.
