C O M BOOKS 2 1 CHICKASAW PRESS WHITE DOG PRESS Created in response to the basic need of the Chickasaws to own their history, Chickasaw Press was established as an entity of the Chickasaw Nation in 2006. The addition of White Dog Press as a secondary imprint under the Chickasaw Press, allows Chickasaw Press to build upon its goal of preserving, perpetuating, and providing an awareness of Chickasaw history and culture by embracing popular genres and creative projects that do not fit under the umbrella of research and scholarship – the primary focus of projects currently published under the Chickasaw Press label. W W W. C H I C K A S AW P R E S S . C O M 2 CHICKASAW PRESS GOAL The goal of Chickasaw Press is to preserve, perpetuate, and provide an awareness of Chickasaw history and culture by: generating and publishing research and scholarship about Chickasaw history and culture; making such scholarship accessible to Chickasaw people; exercising “cultural and intellectual sovereignty” by adhering to ethical and culturally appropriate research and publication practices; providing an outlet for Chickasaw authors and scholars. White Dog Press affords us the opportunity to further share the history, culture, and experiences of the Chickasaw people through literary categories such as historical fiction, children’s books, young-adult literature, how-to books, travel writing, creative or narrative non-fiction, poetry, and memoirs. WHITE DOG PRESS GOAL The goal of White Dog Press is to share the culture, experiences, and history of the Chickasaw through exceptional published works that inspire creativity, ignite the imagination, and inform readers.

Anompolichi: The Wordmaster explores civilization in pre-Columbian North America with the action-packed story of three unlikely friends, one a “wordmaster.” The three find themselves caught up in unforeseen depths of intrigue and danger in the New World long before history recorded its discovery. 17 CHICKASAW LIVES CHICKASAW LIVES RICHARD GREEN RICHARD GREEN The Chickasaw Lives series contains articles and essays of Chickasaw history and culture. Volume One traces the story of the Chickasaws through a series of challenges from prehistory to the modern era.

The third volume of the series presents stories of cultural and historic preservation efforts, profiles of notable Chickasaw personalities of the twentieth century, and essays on topics such as the significance of the 1729 Natchez uprising, and Piominko’s famous meeting with George Washington on July 11, 1794, as recorded by future President John Quincy Adams.

Woody Crumbo’s Indian Art tells the compelling story of the life of Woodrow “Woody” Crumbo (1912–1989) in parallel with the evolution of American Indian art. An accomplished Native dancer, flutist, silversmith, and poet, Crumbo is best known today for his oil paintings and silkscreens, revolutionary artworks that were discounted by many critics at the beginning, but that ultimately began the movement that put more Indian art into museums of fine art.

W E N O N A H PAU L G U N N I N G ’ S M E M O I R AS TOLD THROUGH ROBIN GUNNING In August 2004, Chickasaw artist Mike Larsen approached Chickasaw Nation leaders with an idea to honor his tribe’s living elders by immortalizing them in art. Accompanied by his wife, Martha, he began a creative process that turned into a personal journey and led to the twenty-four remarkable paintings and dozens of sketches reproduced in this volume, accompanied by touching narratives based on Martha Larsen’s interviews. The voice of James Wenonah Paul Gunning, as written by her son, Robin Gunning, narrates this captivating story that combines the tragic, the triumphant, the heartwarming, and often the madcap – all the shades of family life – into an unforgettable and touching portrait of the historic Paul family of Pauls Valley.
