The family relationships between those who \"sat for the photographer\" are clearly visible in these images--sisters, friends, families, young couples--who appear and reappear to fill in a chronicle spanning from 1879 to 1942. Also included are candid shots of Ho-Chunk on the streets of Black River Falls, outside family dwellings, and at powwows. As author and Ho-Chunk tribal member Amy Lonetree writes, \"A significant number of the images were taken just a few short years after the darkest, most devastating period for the Ho-Chunk. Invasion, diseases, warfare, forced assimilation, loss of land, and repeated forced removals from our beloved homelands left the Ho-Chunk people in a fight for their culture and their lives.\"\u003c\/p\u003eThe book includes three introductory essays (a biographical essay by Matthew Daniel Mason, a critical essay by Amy Lonetree, and a reflection by Tom Jones) and 300-plus duotone photographs and captions in gallery style. Unique to the project are the identifications in the captions, which were researched over many years with the help of tribal members and genealogists, and include both English and Ho-Chunk names.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Jones, Michael Schmudlach, Matthew Daniel Mason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870204769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870204760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisconsin Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Bronze Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Book Award (MIPA) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Book Award (MIPA) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Book Award (MIPA) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 36","brand":"Tom Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926693544191,"sku":"9780870204760","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_37a771d6-a590-4f31-8570-3d658ee2bb5c.jpg?v=1681084489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-of-the-big-voice-tom-jones-9780870204760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
