Abstract
Native American tribes living on the Great Plains have long attracted the attention of Euro-American scholars, inspiring over the years a vast quantity of research. The contributors to this volume discuss and evaluate all the major works of scholarship devoted to the culture of Plains Indians, from the arrival of these peoples on the North American grasslands thousands of years ago, through their subsequent Village and High Plains lifeways, to their present-day adaption to reservation and urban life. Toghether, the twenty-two authors undertake a comprehensive survey of the state of anthropology on the Plains: what it has been, what it is now, and what it may offer theory and method in the future. -- From interior dustjacket

Abstract
A revelatory portrait of eight Indigenous communities from across North America, shown through never-before-published archival photographs--a gorgeous extension of Paul Seesequasis's popular social media project. In 2015, writer and journalist Paul Seesequasis found himself grappling with the devastating findings of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report on the residential school system. He sought understanding and inspiration in the stories of his mother, herself a residential school survivor. Gradually, Paul realized that another, mostly untold history existed alongside the official one: that of how Indigenous peoples and communities had held together during even the most difficult times. He embarked on a social media project to collect archival photos capturing everyday life in First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities from the 1920s through the 1970s. As he scoured archives and libraries, Paul uncovered a trove of candid images and began to post these on social media, where they sparked an extraordinary reaction. Friends and relatives of the individuals in the photographs commented online, and through this dialogue, rich histories came to light for the first time. Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun collects some of the most arresting images and stories from Paul's project. While many of the photographs live in public archives, most have never been shown to the people in the communities they represent. As such, Blanket Toss is not only an invaluable historical record, it is a meaningful act of reclamation, showing the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities, past, present--and future.
