    Open AccessWilliam H Lyons, Michael L CummingsARTICLEGeoarchaeology2002

    Granitic constituents suggest distant plutonic sources for sherds representing four of six low‐fired brown ware pots and for eight of ten sandstone artifacts from Lost Dune (35HA792), a Late Prehistoric bison processing camp in Harney Basin of southeastern Oregon, a Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary region. Eight sandstone artifacts match granite‐derived sandstone near Oregon's Owyhee River, and three former pots match altered granite and rhyolit…

  • The Navajos in the American Historical Imagination, 1868-1900

    William H Lyons, William H LyonARTICLEEthnohistory1998

    Le premier contact americain avec les Navajos eut lieu avant 1846, mais une curieuse transformation de la construction de l'histoire, notamment elaboree par les soldats puis reprise dans la majorite des travaux scientifiques, le situe dans une chronologie ulterieure lors des expeditions dans la region Navajo. L'image des Indiens Navajos, transmise au cours du XIX e siecle, est ambigue : a la fois admirative et depreciative du fait de leur resista…

  • The Navajos in the Anglo-American Historical Imagination, 1807-1870

    William H Lyons, William H LyonARTICLEEthnohistory1996

    Anglo-American received little information about the Navajos from the Hispanics. At first Anglo-Americans admired the Navajos, marveling at their personal virtues, perplexed by their poor living conditions. Some considered the Navajos civilized, superior to the Mexicans though not the equal of the Anglo-Americans. Reluctantly, the Anglo-Americans accepted the need for a military solution to Navajo raiding, and their attitude toward the Navajo rem…

  • Anthropology and History: Can the Two Sister Disciplines Communicate

    Open AccessWilliam H Lyons, William H LyonARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…1994

    The writer of Native American history faces many vexing problems: the lack of aboriginal documentary or published sources; the reliance on subjective, oral Indian testimony; the need for internal tribal histories; and the investigation of non-Western aboriginal cultures, which is refractory to the methods and concepts of the modern social scientist.\nAmong the problems of writing Indian history is the lack of communication between historian and a…

  • Gladys Reichard at the Frontiers of Navajo Culture

    William H Lyons, William H LyonARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1989Cited by: 2

    T HERE WAS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT the Navajo people until the investigations of Washington Matthews, in the 1880s. Later the Franciscan Fathers at the St. Michaels Mission published a wide ranging study of Indian culture in 1910 in their Ethnologic Dictionary. It was not until the 1920s that university anthropologists, with their rigorous scientific methods, began to intensively investigate the culture of native people. One of these academic ant…

  • Ednishodi Yazhe: The Little Priest and the Understanding of Navajo Culture

    Open AccessWilliam H Lyons, William H LyonARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…1987

    By 1930, Navajo studies were ready to enter a new era. The first generation of scholars, beginning in 1880 with Washington Matthews, had laid the foundation to the Navajo world. That generation had conducted field work, recorded myths and vocabulary and published some of its findings. Building on that foundation, the second generation, which included four university scholars (Sapir, Reichard, Kluckhohn and Wyman), a trader’s wife (New-comb), a ph…
