This dictionary—a monumental achievement that has been decades in the making—is based on the extensive fieldwork of Sven Liljeblad, supplemented by Catherine Fowler’s and Harold Abel’s work. Liljeblad is widely regarded as the foremost Northern Paiute fieldworker, largely due to his work with some of the oldest and most fluent speakers. The 40,000-odd slip files that Liljebald gathered over a period of nearly 50 years served as the major source for this dictionary. The files represent data from eight of the seventeen communities of Northern Paiute speakers, representing all four dialects from over seventy native speakers.Entries include the term, a phonetic transcription into IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), community code and consultant, form class or part of speech, an English definition, an example of the word used in a sentence as well as its translation into English, the term’s semantic field, the source of the entry, the various dialectal forms of the term, and cross-reference information. A dictionary such as this is all the more essential today since fewer children are learning the language and it is used less and less in native communities. The vast amount of detail provided for each entry makes this a valuable resource for linguists, native speakers, and those wishing to learn and preserve the Northern Paiute and Bannock languages.

This publication presents the first volume (Las Vegas) of the early ethnographic field work of anthropologist Isabel T. Kelly. From 1932 to 1934, Kelly interviewed thirty Southern Paiute people— from southeastern California, southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and southern Utah— about “the old ways.” She filled 31 notebooks, made maps, took photographs, collected nearly 300 ethnobotanical specimens, purchased and shipped over 400 ethnographic artefacts to museums, and traveled more than 7,000 miles. Her notes comprise the most extensive primary ethnographic documentation of Southern Paiute/ Chemehuevi lifeways of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Although Kelly intended to publish these notes, she was unable to do so before her death. Fowler and Garey-Sage have now synthesised the first set of these handwritten field notes and sketches, providing organisation, commentary and illustrations to put them in context for the modern reader. Kelly’s data, most of whichcould not be gathered anew today, are offered here for the use of generations to come.

Catherine Fowler chronicles a significant yet little-known program for Girl Scouts in post-WWII America. At a time when women were just beginning to enter fields traditionally dominated by men, these two-week camping caravans and archaeological excavations introduced teenage girls not only to the rich cultural and scientific heritage of the American Southwest but to new career possibilities. Dr. Bertha Dutton, curator at the Museum of New Mexico, served as trip leader.While on the road and in camp, Dutton and other experts in anthropology, archaeology, geology, natural history, and more helped the campers appreciate what they were seeing and learning. This book details the history of the program, sharing trip itineraries and selected memories from the nearly three hundred girls who attended the camps. It also serves as a mini-biography and tribute to Bertha Dutton, who, through her knowledge, teaching, and strong persona, provided a role model for these young women, many of whom later pursued careers in anthropology and related fields.
