Carlisle was the first institution opened by the federal government for the education of Native American children. The brainchild of former Indian fighter Captain Richard Pratt, Carlisle, like other schools that followed, was established to teach Indian children the white mans way. For some, like Olympian Jim Thorpe, Indian School led to success and prosperity, but for many others it was an education in alienation and isolation. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=209797 Native American students entering college often experience a dramatic confrontation of cultures. As one of the writers in this remarkable collective memoir remarks, When I was a child, I was taught certain things: dont stand up to your elders; dont question authority; life is precious; the earth is precious; take it slowly; enjoy it. And then you go to college and you learn all these other things that never fit. Making things fit, finding that elusive balance between tribal values and the demands of campus life is a recurring theme in this landmark collection of personal essays. Navajo or Choctaw, Tlingit or Sioux, each of the essayists (all graduates of Dartmouth College) gives a heartfelt account of struggle and adjustment. The result is a compelling portrait of the anguish Native American students feel justifying the existence of their own cultures not only to other students but also throughout the predominantly white institutions they have joined. Among the contributors are a tribal court judge and a professional baseball player, the first Navajo woman surgeon, and the former executive director of a Native American preparatory school. Their memories and insights are unparalleled.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=205168 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=199425 The Phoenix Indian School was a boarding school founded in 1891 with the goal of fostering the assimilation of Native Americans into white society. The school served as a federal educational institution for Native American children from tribes in Arizona and elsewhere in the Southwest. This book provides a history of the school from 1930 until the graduation of its final class of nineteen students in 1990. Dorothy Parker tells how the Phoenix Indian School not only adapted to policy changes instituted by the federal government but also had to contend with events occurring in the world around it, such as the Great Depression, World War II, and the advent of the red power movement.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=286728 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=80374 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=247776 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=248548 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=12611 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=66130 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=148723 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=117546 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=25704 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=139483 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=26735 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=117549 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=17423 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=23301 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=24156 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=25766 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=155279 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=131728 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=23308 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=66135 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=174828 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=211273 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=158166 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=44838 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=257525 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=22869 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=74378 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=152377 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=180911 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=75893 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=180900 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=213085 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=248592 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=32268 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=247432 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=24179 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=169906 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=220050 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=471668 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=220394 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=82804 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=124168 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=220181
