This book, as an ethnography, comes straight from the author’s perspective of her eight years working and observing the Crow Tribe in Montana. It also covers a thirty-year period when education in the United States was undergoing a critical time of trying to understand how to best approach teaching members of the Crow Tribe within the context of the dominant society, as well as address the matter of race in America. The political and social dilemmas at large make the prospects of educating American Indians even more complex.
The author, Cheryl Crawley, is a third generation Montanan with sensitivity to this sub-population. She has worked on and off the Crow Indian Reservation of Montana. From 1978 to 1986 she worked directly with the indigenous population during this study. She spent a year at the University of California at Berkeley doing graduate work for her doctorate. Afterwards she entered the field of school administration as director of student services for the Salem Oregon Public Schools. She later assumed the role of superintendent of schools for two other Oregon school districts.
