William Willard (1926–2016) was a professor of cultural
anthropology at Washington State University. He was a founding
coeditor for Wíčazo Ša Review. Alan G. Marshall is a
professor emeritus of anthropology at Lewis-Clark State College and
a cultural resource consultant for the Nez Perce Tribe in Idaho.
J. Diane Pearson is a lecturer in Native American studies at
the University of California, Berkeley. She is the author of The
Nez Perces in the Indian Territory: Nimiipuu Survival.
“This book will come to be recognized as a staggering achievement
of scholarly cooperation. The text will be appreciated by academics
for sure, but it is a book that anyone with an interest in Nez
Perce history and culture must read. . . . Rising from the
Ashes is a penetrating and insightful snapshot of
Phinney.”—Steven R. Evans, author of Voice of the Old Wolf:
Lucullus Virgil McWhorter and the Nez Perce Indians
“An intriguing and nuanced collection. . . . This is a critical
volume for anyone interested in contemporary Native American
scholarship and represents the culmination of decades of research
by the editors and contributors.”—Trevor James Bond, associate dean
for digital initiatives and special collections, Washington State
University Libraries
“Well written, well organized, and full of real information, these
essays illuminate survival and sovereignty issues dealt with by
American First Nations, exemplified by Jicarilla Apache, Osage, and
particularly Numiipuu (Nez Perce), whose leader Archie Phinney was
a Boas student. A rich read!—Alice B. Kehoe, professor emeritus of
anthropology at Marquette University
“Rising from the Ashes is a tribute to the remarkable
persistence and resistance of the Numiipuu as a people. Second, it
honors the Numiipuu scholar Archie Phinney and his lifelong study
of his people’s history and culture. Equally, the book is a tribute
to the late Bill Willard, who rediscovered Phinney and the
importance of his research. Finally, Alan G. Marshall and J. Diane
Pearson have masterfully put together this compendium of essays to
celebrate the people and the two scholars who attempted to tell the
full story of the Numiipuu.”—Tom Holm, professor emeritus of
American Indian studies at the University of Arizona
