Book Description
In Two Crows Denies It, R. H. Barnes undertakes an ambitious historical analysis of anthropological scholarship about Omaha kinship systems. His groundbreaking work offers a critique of this established scholarship, including the work of Levi-Strauss, Dorsey, and Fletcher. In comparing the primary and secondary accounts of Omaha descent, relationship, and naming systems, Barnes reveals the dissonance between the reality of Omaha society and the scholarship that has formed around it. Not only does he put forth a new and more realistic interpretation of Omaha sociology specifically, but in so doing he provides a reinterpretation of an aspect of anthropological theory. This edition includes a new introduction by Raymond J. DeMallie.

Book Description
Excerpt from Alsea d104s and Myths The materials presented in the following volume arc based on collections made by Dr. Leo J. Frachtenberg and Prof. Livingston Farrand, now president of the University of Colorado. The inception of the work dates back to an enterprise in which the late Mr. Henry Yillard took n lively interest. From 1898 an attempt was made to study in detail the vanishing tribes of the Pacific const. While the late Mr. Collis P. Huntington and afterwards Mr. Archer M. Huntington contributed funds for this work in California, which subsequently was continued by the University of California in the able hands of Prof. Alfred L. Kroobor and Dr. Pliny Earle Goddard, Mr. Villnrd undertook to provide funds for work in Oregon. The field work at first was undertaken by Professor Farrand, who worked among the Alsea and later among the Salmptin tribes, and by Mr. Harry Hull St. Clair, 2d, who collected material among the Coos. After Mr. Villard's death the work was discontinued, but Mis. Villnrd very generously placed at our disposal funds for completing the field work among the Alsea. Tho completion of this work was directed jointly by tho Bureau of American Ethnology and Columbia University in the City of New York, and its execution was in trusted to Dr. Loo J. Frachtenberg, who collected new material, revised the collections made by Professor Farrand, and digested tho accumulated data. Our thanks arc due to Mr. and Mrs. Villnrd, whose generosity has enabled us to record the language and traditions of a people that arc on the verge of extinction.
