Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache: “This is indeed a brilliant exposition of landscape and language in the world of the Western Apache. But it is more than that. Keith Basso gives us to understand something about the sacred and indivisible nature of words and place. And this is a universal equation, a balance in the universe. Place may be the first of all concepts; it may be the oldest of all words.” -N. Scott Momaday

“Because these essays are so engagingly written and dramatically organized, this book will likely come to be regarded as a classic of creative ethnographic representation. And teachers of linguistic anthropology finally have an important work in our subdiscipline that is accessible to undergraduate readers and available in paperback.” -Richard J. Parmentier, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology
