Northwestern University Library announces the release on April 26, 2001 by the Library of Congress National Digital Library Program of: "Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian: Photographic Images" http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/award98/ienhtml/curthome.html The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis is one of the most significant and controversial representations of traditional American Indian culture ever produced. Issued in a limited edition from 1907-1930, the publication continues to exert a major influence on the image of Indians in popular culture. Curtis said he wanted to document "the old time Indian, his dress, his ceremonies, his life and manners." In over 2,000 photogravure plates and narrative, Curtis portrayed the traditional customs and lifeways of eighty Indian tribes. The twenty volumes, each with an accompanying portfolio, are organized by tribes and culture areas encompassing the Great Plains, Great Basin, Plateau Region, Southwest, California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. In 1998, Northwestern University Library was awarded a grant from the Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital Library Competition to support the digitization of all of the illustrations contained in the volumes and portfolios of its copy of The North American Indian. Northwestern also created detailed indexing that permits retrieval of the images by personal name, tribal affiliation, geocultural region, and subject. A special section of the digital collection, "Edward S. Curtis in Context," presents a map, timeline, and essays by noted scholars reflecting on how Curtis has been viewed in his time and today.

Cultural Survival Quarterly Summer 2001 Issue Endangered Languages, Endangered Lives Guest Edited by Eileen Moore Quinn The cover title, "Endangered Languages ? Endangered Lives" provides the context for our June issue. Presenting examples from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, it is guest-edited by Dr. Eileen Moore Quinn, a linguistic anthropologist who specializes in the Irish language and who teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Included are the writings of indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, research activists and scholars, some of whom compare global linguistic "crash" to worldwide loss in ecological bio-diversity. This special Cultural Survival Quarterly offers readable material to educators, and provides advice on how to preserve cultural and linguistic heritage. What this issue demonstrates is that no hard and fast formula for language preservation is likely to emerge. Just as each case has been the result of a unique set of historic and cultural circumstances, so too must revitalization or revival efforts be dovetailed to meet the needs and goals of specific linguistic communities. Dialogue and interaction, on the other hand, allow those who work in linguistic preservation to be apprised of constraints and accesses, strengths and liabilities, which propelled or retarded the efforts of others.   Editorial Lineup: Marion BlueArm, Maintaining Lakota on the Cheyenne River Reservation.
