| Though long recognized for their rich cultural diversity and historical significance, the Indians of Texas seem not to have inspired as much academic interest during the efflorescence of Indian scholarship of the past several decades as have native groups of the Southwest and the central and northern Plains. Recent years, however, have witnessed a resurgence of notable scholarly publication on Texas Indians, marked by the work of Gary Anderson, Nancy Hickerson, Kelly Himmel, Robert Ricklis, and Todd Smith, among others. Especially productive has been David La Vere, a historian at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, who has published books and articles on the Caddo, Comanche, and Kiowa, as well as a volume of oral history culled from 1930s Works Progress Administration interviews of Texas Indians and their descendants living in Oklahoma. |
