In a Sacred Manner We Live: Photographs of the American Indian at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century

Fowler, Don D.

Outlet

World’s fairs and industrial expositions constituted a phenomenally successful popular culture movement during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition to the newest technological innovations, each exposition showcased commercial and cultural exhibits, entertainment concessions, national and corporate displays of wealth, and indigenous peoples from the colonial empires of the host country. As scientists claiming specialized knowledge about indigenous peoples, especially American Indians, anthropologists used expositions to promote their quest for professional status and authority. Anthropology Goes to the Fair takes readers through the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition to see how anthropology, as conceptualized by W J McGee, the first president of the American Anthropological Association, showcased itself through programs, static displays, and living exhibits for millions of people “to show each half of the world how the other half lives.” More than two thousand Native peoples negotiated and portrayed their own agendas on this world stage. The reader will see how anthropology itself was changed in the process.

This sweeping history tells the story of an idea, “The Southwest,” through the development of American anthropology and archaeology. For eighty years, anthropology more than any other discipline described the people, culture, and land of the American Southwest to cultural tastemakers and consumers on the East Coast. The author uses biographical vignettes to recreate the men and women who pioneered American anthropology and archaeology in the Southwest and explores institutions such as the Smithsonian, University of Pennsylvania Museum, School of American Research, and American Museum of Natural History that influenced southwestern research agenda, published results, and exhibited artifacts. Equally influential were the “Yearners”--novelists, poets, painters, photographers, and others--such as Alice Corbin, Oliver La Farge, Mabel Dodge Luhan, and Laura Adams Armer whose literature and art incorporated southwestern ethnography, sought the essence of the Indian and! Hispano world, and substantially shaped the cultural impression of “The Southwest” to the American public. 
"This is a really outstanding, important book. Don Fowler, a noted archaeologist, historic preservation specialist, and historian of anthropology, has written a comprehensive account of the anthropological quest to understand Native cultures of the American Southwest prior to World War II. Combining many threads of evidence, Fowler presents brief vignettes that highlight and summarize the intellectual endeavors of the fascinating men and women who have worked in the American Southwest, using it as their laboratory, and who made it the most studied culture in the world. A Laboratory for Anthropology presents a fresh, new approach. I know of no one better than Dr. Fowler to write such a synthesis."—Dr. Nancy J. Parezo, Arizona State Museum

Follow along as a top expert in Southwest archaeology explores and excavates prehistoric sites in the Glen Canyon, Cedar Mesa, and Crow Canyon regions of Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, formulating ideas and drawing conclusions from the research data as he strives to preserve archaeological sites for future generations. Currently a professor emeritus at WSU, Dr. Lipe also has assumed leading roles in the Southwestern Anthropological Research Group, the Dolores Archaeological Project, and the Society for American Archaeology. In Tracking Ancient Footsteps, individuals who worked and interacted with him share their experiences and provide a chronology of one man's life as it intersects with the understanding of Southwestern prehistory, and the archaeological profession as a whole.
