Authentic Indians: Episodes of Encounter from the Late-Nineteenth-Century Northwest Coast (a John Hope Franklin Center Book)
“There are not enough superlatives in a thesaurus to convey my enthusiasm for this book. It is insightful, original, intelligent, thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and more. Paige Raibmon is the first scholar working in Native history to dissect and articulate the connections between assimilationist government policies, the rise of North American anthropology, and tourism, all of which—Raibmon argues with great success—served as agents of colonialism.”—Nancy Shoemaker, author ofA Strange Likeness:  Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America
