This insightful volume delves into land-based DinÉ and Dene imaginaries as embodied in stories—oral, literary, and visual. Like the dynamism and kinetic facets of hÓzhǪ́,* Restoring Relations Through Stories takes us through many landscapes, places, and sites. Renae Watchman introduces the book with an overview of stories that bring TsÉ BitʼaʼÍ, or Shiprock Peak, the sentinel located in what is currently the state of New Mexico, to life. The book then introduces the dynamic field of Indigenous film through a close analysis of two distinct DinÉ-directed feature-length films, and ends by introducing Dene literatures.While the DinÉ (those from the four sacred mountains in DinÉtah in the southwestern United States) are not now politically and economically cohesive with the Dene (who are in Denendeh in Canada), they are ancestral and linguistic relatives. In this book, Watchman turns to literary and visual texts to explore how relations are restored through stories, showing how literary linkages from land-based stories affirm DinÉ and Dene kinship. She explores the power of story to forge ancestral and kinship ties between the DinÉ and Dene across time and space through re-storying of relations.*A complex DinÉ worldview and philosophy that cannot be defined with one word in the English language. HÓzhǪ́ means to continually strive for harmony, beauty, balance, peace, and happiness, but most importantly the DinÉ have a right to it.

Indianthusiasm refers to the European fascination with, and fantasies about, Indigenous peoples of North America, and has its roots in nineteenth-century German colonial imagination. Often manifested in romanticized representations of the past, Indianthusiasm has developed into a veritable industry in Germany and other European nations: there are Western and so-called ""Indian"" theme parks and a German hobbyist scene that attract people of all social backgrounds and ages to join camps and clubs that practise beading, powwow dancing, and Indigenous lifestyles.Containing interviews with twelve Indigenous authors, artists, and scholars who comment on the German fascination with North American Indigenous Peoples, Indianthusiasm is the first collection to present Indigenous critiques and assessments of this phenomenon. The volume connects two disciplines and strands of scholarship: German Studies and Indigenous Studies, focusing on how Indianthusiam has created both barriers and opportunities for Indigenous peoples with Germans and in Germany.
