In Talking Indian, Davis--a member of the Chickasaw Nation--offers the first book-length ethnography of language revitalization in a U.S. tribe removed from its homelands.

From Chicaza to Chickasaw by Robbie Ethridge
ISBN: 9780807871690
Publication Date: 2013-02-01
Using a framework that Ethridge calls the "Mississippian shatter zone" to explicate these tumultuous times, From Chicaza to Chickasaw examines the European invasion, the collapse of the precontact Mississippian world, and the restructuring of discrete chiefdoms into coalescent Native societies in a colonial world. The story of one group--the Chickasaws--is closely followed through this period.
