Journal Article
Francis La Flesche and Ethnography: Writing, Power, Critique
2017
Overview
Francis La Flesche, an early ethnographer who grew up in the Omaha tribe, has much to teach us about representing peoples and ways of life. By examining writings by and about La Flesche during his lifetime, we can see that he engaged and challenged power structures on many levels and in many contexts. La Flesche worked as an informant and interpreter, and wrote autobiographical, fictional, and ethnographic works. In his writings, both the content and structure tended to disrupt emic and etic perspectives and address the complexities of representing subjectivity and culture.
