Encyclopedia of the Great Plains Indians
As editor Wishart states in his preface, this spin-off from the Encyclopedia of the Great Plains (2004) deals with Plains Indians because "the reservations in the United States and the reserves in Canada are islands of population increase in a sea of rural population decline." The volume contains 123 alphabetically arranged entries excerpted from the larger work (also edited by Wishart), mostly from the Native American chapter. Some 23 new entries deal primarily with contemporary Plains Indians, and many of the photographs are new. Quinn, Mary Ellen
