Songs of Power and Prayer in the Columbia Plateau: The Jesuit, the Medicine Man, and the Indian Hymn Singer
Chad S. Hamill 
Songs of Power and Prayer traces a cultural, spiritual, and musical encounter that upended notions of indigeneity and the rules of engagement for Indians and priests in the Columbia Plateau. Long before Jesuits appeared in Coeur d’Alene and Salish country, Indian prophets foretold their arrival. Hamill's work reveals how song can bridge worlds, both between the individual and Spirit and between the Jesuits and the Indians. Whether sung in an indigenous ceremony or adapted for Catholic Indian services, song abides as a force that strengthens Native identity and acts as a conduit for power and prayer.

Ancestral Places: Understanding Kanaka Geographies 
Katrina-Ann R. Kapāʻanaokalāokeola Nākoa Oliveira 
Ancestral Places explores the deep connections that ancestral Kānaka (Native Hawaiians) enjoyed with their environment. It honors the moʻolelo (historical accounts) of the ancestral places of their kūpuna (ancestors), and reveals how these moʻolelo and their relationships with the ʻāina (land) inform a Kanaka sense of place.

Teaching Oregon Native Languages 
Joan Gross 
In a world where over half of the remaining 6000 languages will most likely disappear by the end of the century, attention has finally begun to focus on the struggles of indigenous people to save their languages. This book tells the story of perseverance and survival against unbelievable odds, using the words of today's speakers and learners of Oregon's languages. Interviews with 52 native speakers provide valuable insights into how languages are lost and how a linguistic heritage can be brought to life.

Legible Sovereignties: Rhetoric, Representations, and Native American Museums 
Lisa King 
An interdisciplinary work that draws on the fields of rhetorical studies, Native American and Indigenous studies, and museum studies, Legible Sovereignties tracks the exhibit spaces at the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan’s Ziibiwing Center, Haskell Indian Nation University’s Cultural Center and Museum, and the Smithsonian’s Washington, DC branch of the National Museum of the American Indian over their first ten years, from their opening until the summer of 2014. Far from formulaic, each site has developed its own rhetorical approaches to reaching its public, revealing multiple challenges and successes in making Native self-representation legible and accessible.
