She is the editor of American Indian Life, also available as a Bison Book.

Pauline Turner Strong, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, is the author of the forthcoming Captive Selves, Captivating Others: The Practice and Representation of Captivity across the British-Amerindian Frontier, 1576-1776.
