Description

Oral history is a widespread and well-developed research method in many fields―however the conduct of oral histories of and by American Indian peoples has unique issues and concerns which are too rarely addressed. This crucial guide begins by differentiating between the practice of oral history and the traditional oral traditions of Indian cultures, detailing ethical and legal parameters, and addressing the different motivations for and uses of oral histories in tribal, community, and academic settings. Inside that a very powerful context, the authors provide a practical, step by step guide to project making plans, equipment and budgets, and the conduct and processing of interviews, followed by a set of examples from various successful projects, key forms able for duplication, and the Oral History Association Evaluation Guidelines. This manual is the go-to text for everyone involved with oral history related to American Indians.
