A rare American Indian photographer who documented Indian subjects, Poolaw began making a visual history in the mid-1920s and continued for the next fifty years. When he sold his photos, he often stamped the reverse: \"A Poolaw Photo, Pictures by an Indian, Horace M. Poolaw, Anadarko, Okla.\" Not simply by \"an Indian,\" but by a Kiowa man strongly rooted in his multi-tribal community, Poolaw's work celebrates his subjects' place in American life and preserves an insider's perspective on a world few outsiders are familiar with--the Native America of the southern plains during the mid-twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor a Love of His People: The Photography of Horace Poolaw\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the Poolaw Photography Project, a research initiative established by Poolaw's daughter Linda in 1989 at Stanford University and carried on by Native scholars Nancy Marie Mithlo (Chiricahua Apache) and Tom Jones (Ho-Chunk) of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the National Museum of the American Indian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Marie Mithlo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300197454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300197457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Smithsonian Institution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 9.36w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 796","brand":"Nancy Marie Mithlo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48998553551103,"sku":"9780300197457","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-a-love-of-his-nancy-marie-mithlo-9780300197457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
