Examines language shift among the Northern Arapaho of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and the community's diverse responses as it seeks social continuity. Andrew Cowell argues that, rather than a single "Arapaho culture", we find five distinctive communities of practice, each with differing perspectives on social and more-than-human power and the human relationships that enact power.
