Chapter Six addresses the popularization of the West at the turn of the twentieth century by more marginalized voices. Examples range across Indigenous performers and writers—including Princess Chinquilla, Simon Pokagon, S. Alice Callahan, and Zitkala-Ša; African American writers—including Nat Love and the soldiers, historians, journalists, novelists, and publishers discussed in chapter four; a long list of white women writers—including B. M. Bower, Mary Austin, Emma Ghent Curtis, Mollie E. Moore Davis, and Mary Roberts Rinehart; and the non-elite white man James Willard Schultz. Together, these examples challenge frontier club dominance not only with competing stories, characters, and styles but with different modes of production and cultural networks. The chapter also reconfigures 1902—an iconic year in the received history of westerns—by considering works beyond The Virginian published that year. It discusses most extensively Frances McElrath’s The Rustler, Pauline Hopkins’s Winona, and Alexander Posey’s Fus Fixico letters.Less

Archaeologies of Listening provides a fresh and bold look at how archaeologists and heritage managers may enhance their capacity to interpret and understand material culture and heritage values. By listening closely to indigenous voices and to those who have long-term relationships with the landscape, deeper empirical understandings are brought to interpretations. Drawing on the founding principles of anthropology, Archaeologies of Listening demonstrates the value of cultural apprenticeship, an almost forgotten part of archaeological practice. The authors argue that epistemic humility is central to creating relationships of equality and mutuality, critical components in an anthropological archaeology that overcomes a narrowly scientific approach. By embracing a humanistic perspective with people-centric practice and ethics, this volume points the way to reawakening the core principles of anthropology in community archaeology and heritage studies.Less
