Volume 15, Issue 1 (2017) Remembering William T. Vickers (1942–2016)

Most of the present issue is dedicated to anthropologist William T. Vickers. A number of contributions highlight his scientific and advocacy work among the Secoya and Siona people in Ecuador's northeastern Amazon region. To this end, readers will encounter a couple of types of submissions not usually found within our pages: short testimonials from some of Vickers' colleagues and a previously unpublished conference paper. Especially for a new generation of scholars, this material adds to our understanding of how peoples and theories have shaped the enterprise of Amazonian anthropology during the latter part of the twentieth century. Rob Wasserstrom and Jean Langdon conceptualized a Tipití tribute and did a tremendous amount of work to make it happen. Thanks also to Lauren Alston Bridges for editorial, layout, and web-related assistance. Edite Vickers kindly provided photographs and fervent support for this project.
