Essays in Honor of John C. Ewers
Leading North American and European scholars have contributed to
this unique project – a memorial for the esteemed Dr. John
Canfield Ewers, the late Senior Ethnologist of the
Smithsonian Institution and the pre-eminent ethnographer of the
North American Plains Indian in our time in two volumes.
The call for papers was responded, as Bill Holm puts it,
“from a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ of Plains scholars… These essays,
in honor of John Ewers, are heartfelt homage from many persons
whose work has benefited from his years of research and
documentation of Plains cultures.” (p. 7)
