Book Description
Excerpt from Chahta Leksikon: A Choctaw in English Definition, for the Choctaw Academies and Schools The demand for the English definition of the Choctaw Language having been great and extensive for a few years past, the Author has undertaken to meet the urgent necessity. Therefore, this volume is now laid before the public as a contribution to the long felt want of the non-english speaking Choctaws, as well as of the non-choctaw speaking people. It is not professed to be a perfect and complete work of the kind. Every effort, however, has been rendered to give as correct a definition as possible; but there being so many particles which cannot be defined by themselves, except in connection with the nouns and verbs, no doubt there will be found, to many, inexplicable prefixes and affixes. But, on the whole, those who only desire to know the meaning of either Choctaw or English, without trying to fully know the roots and all the euphonic changes, will find sufficient for their purpose. Apartial help has been secured from an anonymous manuscript Definer and the old Choctaw Definer. If the work supplies that which was desired, the author will deem himself amply paid for long and laborious effort.

Book Description
For hundreds of years, American artisanship and American authorship were entangled practices rather than distinct disciplines. Books, like other objects, were multisensory items all North American communities and cultures, including Native and settler colonial ones, regularly made and used. All cultures and communities narrated and documented their histories and imaginations through a variety of media. All created objects for domestic, sacred, curative, and collective purposes. In this innovative work at the intersection of Indigenous studies, literary studies, book history, and material culture studies, Caroline Wigginton tells a story of the interweavings of Native craftwork and American literatures from their ancient roots to the present. Focused primarily on North America, especially the colonized lands and waters now claimed by the United States, this book argues for the foundational but often-hidden aesthetic orientation of American literary history toward Native craftwork. Wigginton knits this narrative to another of Indigenous aesthetic repatriation through the making and using of books and works of material expression. Ultimately, she reveals that Native craftwork is by turns the warp and weft of American literature, interwoven throughout its long history.

Book Description
With essays by William Brescia Jr., Robert B. Ferguson, Patricia K. Galloway, John D. W. Guice, Grayson Noley, Carolyn Keller Reeves, Margaret Zehmer Searcy, and Samuel J. Wells This book focuses upon Choctaw history prior to 1830, when the tribe forfeited territorial claims and was removed from native lands in Mississippi. The included essays emphasize Choctaw anthropology, beliefs, and experience with the US government prior to the tribe's removal to Oklahoma. Attention is focused upon the ways in which European groups, frontiersmen, and state and federal officials affected the Choctaw ideology. This collection shows the relationship among the various forces that combined to erode the culture, economy, and political structure of the Choctaw.
