The Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America is pleased to present
these issues of Working Papers on South American Indians with the kind
permission of Bennington College. WPSAI originally appeared in seven print
issues, published at irregular intervals from 1979 to 1985 by Bennington
College. Kenneth M. Kensinger served as series editor. During these years,
Kensinger also hosted an annual meeting of lowland South Americanists at
Bennington College. These meetings, often called the "Bennington Meetings," were
one of the most important sites for exchange of information and presentation of
new research amog lowland South Americanists. Kensinger's dedication to this
flow of information was passionate: in the introduction to the first issue of
WPSAI, Kensinger stated: "It is our belief that any increase in the flow of
communication between persons interested in South American Indians can be
beneficial to our common and individual scholarly pursuits." Thus, in addition
to hosting the Bennington Meetings, Kensinger edited Working Papers on South
American Indians to facilitate "the rapid dissemination between specialists of
new data ... without the normal impedimenta of journal and book publication."
WPSAI published papers presented at lowland South Americanist symposia in the
AAA and ICA meetings, with added forewords, introductions, commentaries, as well
as wholly original writing. Often cited, but now very hard to find in print, we
hope that this digital reissue will facilitate access to Working Papers on South
American Indians for a new generation of students and scholars.
The idea to reissue Working Papers on South American Indians on this website
arose out of discussions that occurred on the SALSA email list following the
passing of Kenneth Kensinger in May 2010. During this period of mourning, many
people suggested we honor Ken Kensinger's memory through our website, and that
reissuing WPSAI could be an important way to do so. Newly elected
president-elect Jonathan D. Hill organized the scanning of extant print issues
and requested authorization from Bennington College and from individual issue
editors for the project. We thank Bennington College for this kind permission.
We also thank Carolina Izquierdo, who provided several issues from her personal
collection so that they could be scanned for this website.
The black-on-white design of this page is an homage to the journal's original
cover design by Alex Brown (Watermark Design, Cambridge, NY). The WPSAI logo is
scanned from an original cover.

The Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America is pleased to present
these issues of South American Indian Studies with the kind permission of
Bennington College. SAIS originally appeared in five print issues, published at
irregular intervals from 1993 to 1998 by Bennington College. Kenneth M.
Kensinger served as series editor. Like Working Papers on South American
Indians, the publication of SAIS was related to Kensinger's hosting of the
lowland South Americanist summer meetings at Bennington College. Kensinger
dedicated energy and enthusiasm to the task of facilitating the flow of
information among lowland specialists. The Bennington meetings were one approach
to this goal; the publication of WPSAI and SAIS was another. SAIS published
mostly papers presented at sessions of the American Anthropological Association
conference, where there was always at least one session dedicated to lowland
South America. Papers presented at the Bennington meetings were also published
in SAIS.
The idea to reissue South American Indian Studies on this website arose out of
discussions that occurred on the SALSA email list following the passing of
Kenneth Kensinger in May 2010. During this period of mourning, many people
suggested we honor Ken Kensinger's memory through our website, and that
reissuing SAIS could be an important way to do so. Newly elected president-elect
Jonathan D. Hill organized the scanning of extant print issues and requested
authorization from Bennington College and from individual issue editors for the
project. We thank Bennington College for this kind permission. We also thank
Carolina Izquierdo, who provided several issues from her personal collection so
that they could be scanned for this website..

cover designs by Bertil Ostlinger. The SAIS logo is scanned from an original
