How the World Moves: The Odyssey of an American Indian Family
Peter Nabokov (Mellon Fellow, 2007-08)

Born in 1861 in New Mexico's Acoma Pueblo, Edward Proctor Hunt lived a tribal life almost unchanged for centuries. But after attending government schools he broke with his people's ancient codes to become a shopkeeper and controversial broker between Indian and white worlds. Nabokov narrates the fascinating story of Hunt's life within a multicultural and historical context.
