This Companion is comprised of 27 original contributions by leading scholars in the field and summarizes the state of anthropological knowledge of Indian peoples, as well as the history that got us to this point. * Surveys the full range of American Indian anthropology: from ecological and political-economic questions to topics concerning religion, language, and expressive culture * Each chapter provides definitive coverage of its topic, as well as situating ethnographic and ethnohistorical data into larger frameworks * Explores anthropology's contribution to knowledge, its historic and ongoing complicities with colonialism, and its political and ethical obligations toward the people 'studied'

Thomas Biolsi is Professor of Native American Studies at the University of California at Berkeley.
