The book examines concepts such as acculturation, factionalism, and pan-Indianism. It challenges scholars and students in Native American studies, anthropology, history and sociology, to rethink the meaning of cultural identity. Loretta Fowler received her Ph. D. in Anthropology, with a minor in History, from the University of Illinois and subsequently taught at City University of New York, Indiana University, and the University of Oklahoma. Since 2005 she has worked at the D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies writing the website "Indians of the Midwest, Past and Present." For 39 years her research focused on the histories and cultures of Native peoples of the Plains, especially in Wyoming, Montana, and Oklahoma. Fowler has written six books, the most recent of which is Wives and Husbands: Gender and Age in Southern Arapaho History, and co-edited Beyond Red Power with Dan Cobb. She is a past president of the American Society for Ethnohistory.
