For over thirty years, a political and social battle over bilingual education raged in the U.S. and in and around the Crow Indian Reservation of Montana. This book, a period piece rich in political, historical, and local western context, is the story of language, education, inequality and power clashes between the dominant society and the Indian tribe as historical events unfolded.This is a classic ethnography that documents eight years of the authors daytoday experience as a teacher, bilingual education coordinator, and central office administrator during the sociopolitical dispute. The author showcases the familial, linguistic, and ancestral placebased strengths of the Crow families that empowered children to succeed in school against the odds, providing a secure foundation for their future leadership within the tribe. In doing this, the author builds strong support for bridging Native and EuroAmerican philosophies within a bilingual framework.This book is important reading for teachers, administrators, and policymakers. It provides hope, ideas, and concrete actions for those who would engage in change management to improve learning environments and better serve diverse students.
