A Tale of Three Villages - Indigenous-colonial Interactions in Southwestern Alaska, 1740-1950

He is the co-editor of Decolonizing Indigenous Histories: Exploring Prehistoric/Colonial Transitions in Archaeology . Klappentext A Tale of Three Villages tracks the histories of three villages ancestrally linked to Chevak, a contemporary village in southwestern Alaska.
