A Forest of Time: American Indian Ways of History
This book is an informative bit of historiography. Nabokov discusses oral histories and Native American vs European concepts of historicity, and Native American history in material culture and place. Very dense and a bit dry in places, but still readable. Nabokov has some problems with awkward (uncomfortably paternalistic) word choice. He spends a lot of time discussing ethnographers who "collect" stories and "discover" things about modern Native cultures. A little awkward but still a good resource.
