The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some light fading to the spine and spine joints of the book cover. The text pages are clean and bright. "The good Dr. Vennum was without question a force in ethnomusicology. His prize-winning books have been lauded by scholars, appreciated by Native musicians, and regarded as inspiration by a seminal rock star. Tom did excellent work over two decades at the Smithsonian as senior ethnomusicologist in the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, and his work changed things. His book on lacrosse, for example, gave Native people their due in inventing the game, and brought a new perspective to collegiate athletes who had been estranged from that history. Tom produced many programs for the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival, bringing musicians and traditional artists to the National Mall of the United States in order to show the rest of us the great talent, skill, knowledge, and wisdom that resided across the land and in Native communities. He produced award-winning documentary films, giving us a record of how Native people made drums and canoes and collected wild rice. He produced recordings on Smithsonian Folkways and other labels helping to share the voices of Native peoples—whether they be singing warrior songs, playing a powwow drum, or composing contemporary wagon-burning ballads." (from the Smithsonial Center for Folk Life... October 2, 2017). Very Good+ .
