A Forest Of Time Is The First Introduction For Undergraduates And Graduates, Western And Indian History Buffs, And General Readers To The Notion That American Indian Societies Had Vital Interests In Interpreting And Transmitting Their Own Ways For Themselves. Through Separate Discussions Of Legends And Oral Histories, Creation Stories And Folktales, It Illustrates How Various Indian Peoples Related And Commented Upon Their Changing Times. Drawing Upon His Own Varied Research As Well As Sampling The Latest In Scholarship From Ethnohistory, Anthropology, Folklore And Indian Studies, Dr. Nabokov Offers Dramatic Examples Of How Native Peoples Put Rituals And Material Culture, Landscape, Prophecies, And Even The English Language To The Urgent Task Of Keeping The Past Alive And Relevant. Throughout These Lively Chapters, We Also Witness The American Indian Historical Imagination Deployed As A Coping Skill And Survival Strategy. This Book Surveys The Latest Integrating Ideas While Offering A Useful Bibliography That Opens Up, And Demands That We Engage With, Alternative Chronicles For America'S Multicultural Past.
