Winner of the 2023 Dwight L. Smith (ABC-CLIO) Award Bronze Medal for the 2023 Will Rogers Medallion Award Ella Cara Deloria devoted much of her life to the study of the language and culture of the Sioux (Dakota and Lakota). The Dakota Way of Life is the result of the long history of her ethnographic descriptions of traditional Dakota culture and social life. Deloria was the most prolific Native scholar of the greater Sioux Nation, and the results of her work comprise an essential source for the study of the greater Sioux Nation culture and language. For years she collected material for a study that would document the variations from group to group. Tragically, her manuscript was not published during her lifetime, and at the end of her life all of her major works remained unpublished. Deloria was a perfectionist who worked slowly and cautiously, attempting to be as objective as possible and revising multiple times. As a result, her work is invaluable. Her detailed cultural descriptions were intended less for purposes of cultural preservation than for practical application. Deloria was a scholar through and through, and yet she never let her dedication to scholarship overwhelm her sense of responsibility as a Dakota woman, with family concerns taking precedence over work. Her constant goal was to be an interpreter of an American Indian reality to others. Her studies of the Sioux are a monument to her talent and industry.

Delores Privette Smith, MS, BSN, ADN, RN, has spent her life swinging back and forth between crash diets and binge eating. Facing heart failure and other health problems, she set out to uncover the underlying causes of disordered eating. She shares the surprising results of her research in her latest book, Toxic Hunger. Toxic Hunger is not just another diet book. In these pages, Smith uncovers the internal and external causes of the "toxic hunger" that the overweight and obese fight daily. Diving deep into the psychology of overeating, she highlights the roles of emotion, food addiction, and dieting addiction in severe weight gain. She shines a light on the little-known ways in which malnutrition can impact and even worsen obesity. What's more, she demonstrates the complications caused by a host of factors beyond the control of any one overweight individual: manipulation, marketing, and industrial food processing all play a role in the creation of disordered eating and weight gain. A registered nurse, Smith examines the complex web of influences that lead to disordered eating and weight gain, and she offers her readers practical suggestions to put them on the path to a healthier lifestyle.
