The Yale Indian

The Education of Henry Roe Cloud

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""The Yale Indian" advances a project begun in Joel Pfister's "Individuality Incorporated" and also breaks new ground. This book, based on archival research, is about the Winnebago (Ho-Chunk) Henry Roe Cloud (1884-1950), the first full-blood Indian to graduate from Yale (BA 1910, MA 1914). Mostly overlooked by historians, in his era he was recognized as one of the greatest Native leaders. Roe Cloud expanded the meaning of 'Indian, ' in part by striving to develop a university-trained professional and managerial class of Native people at a time when the Carlisle Institute was educating Indians to work on Ford's assembly lines. This is a rich and important book."--Arnold Krupat, author of "Red Matters: Native American Studies"
