Books by Jeffrey D. Anderson

More than a hundred years ago, anthropologists and other researchers collected and studied hundreds of examples of quillwork once created by Arapaho women. Jeffrey Anderson brings this distinctly female art form out of the darkness and into its rightful spotlight within the realms of both art history and anthropology.

Sherman Sage (ca 1844-1943) was an Arapaho man who witnessed profound change in his community and was one of the last to see the Plains black with buffalo. The author gathered information about Sage's life from archives, interviews, recollections, and published sources and has here woven it into a biography.

For more than a century, the Northern Arapaho people lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming - the fourth largest reservation in the country. This book draws together aspects of the Northern Arapahos' world - myth, language, art, ritual, identity, and history - to offer a vivid picture of a culture that has endured and changed over time.
