The Scramble for Northwest Coast Artifacts
Douglas Cole / Paperback / Published 1995
Card catalog description: The heyday of anthropological collecting on the Northwest Coast took place between 1875 and the Great Depression, when public and private funds largely collapsed. The scramble for skulls and skeletons, poles, canoes, baskets, feast bowls, and masks, pursued sometimes with respect, but often with rapacity, went on until it seemed that almost everything not nailed down or hidden was gone. This period of intense collecting coincided with the growth of anthropological museums, such as the Smithsonian Institution, the American Museum of Natural History, and Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History.

Comanche Political History:
An Ethnohistorical Perspective 1706-1875
(Studies in the Anthropology of North American Indians)
Thomas W. Kavanagh / Hardcover / Published 1996
Card catalog description: Based on documentary material from historical and anthropological archives in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, the book examines the different ways the Comanche tribes - the Yamparikas, Jupes, Kotsotekas, Quahadas, Penatekas, Tenewas, and Nokonis - organized and reorganized themselves around the changing resource domains of hunting, warfare, trade and diplomacy. The book presents detailed histories of each of the Comanche tribes and raises larger questions about political processes. What are the origins and fates of political organizations? Why do peoples come together? Why do they disperse? In classical political philosophy, tribes, nations, and ethnic groups have clear, unchanging boundaries; their origins are mythical and unknowable, and their collapse is pathological. In contrast, using the record of the Comanches, Kavanagh argues that political formation and re-formation not only is normal but frequently ignores existing political and ethnic boundaries.
