Coyote's Swing
David Edward Walker
Using a traditional Yakama tale as a motif, "Coyote's Swing" combines the author's firsthand experiences as a consulting psychologist with rare history and sociocultural critique, revealing how the U.S. mental health system reframes Native American reactions to oppression and marginalization into "mental disorders" and "mental illness," and how the Indian Health Service's contemporary practices echo historical injustices.

Keiko Hara
Linda Tesner
"Keiko Hara" offers a detailed exploration of the prolific artist's unwavering commitment to painting, and her unique form of Japanese woodblock printmaking. Separated from her earlier cultural surroundings in Japan, memory and longing became overarching themes. Rich with metaphorical imagery, her visual universe encompasses references to water, fire, skies, and verdant lands, all the while investigating the poetics of space. Hara taught at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington for 21 years.

Montana Modernists
Michele Corriel
In stark contrast to stereotypical romanticized depictions of the West, a twentieth-century postwar avant-garde art movement, Montana modernism, relied on authentic landscapes and experiences. Ranchers, teachers, and professors, their ideas and work flourished, expanding traditional definitions of western art. The first book devoted solely to the topic, "Montana Modernists" presents their stunning artwork within the context of place, teaching and artistic lineage, and community.
