This remarkable book introduces us to four unforgettable Apache people, each of whom
offers a different take on the significance of places in their culture. Apache conceptions
of wisdom, manners and morals and of their own history are inextricably intertwined
with place, and by allowing us to overhear his conversations with Apaches on these
subjects Basso expands our awareness of what place can mean to people. Most of us
use the term "sense of place" often and rather carelessly when we think of nature
or home or literature. Our senses of place, however, come not only from our individual
experiences but also from our cultures. "Wisdom Sits in Places", the first sustained
study of places and place-names by an anthropologist, explores place, places, and
what they mean to a particular group of people, the Western Apache in Arizona. For
more than thirty years, Keith Basso has been doing fieldwork among the Western Apache,
and now he shares with us what he has learned of Apache place-names where they come
from and what they mean to Apaches.
