Dear Matthew:

I have written a book entitled To Live Heroically, Institutional
Racism and American Indian Education, which you might find useful.
It is available through SUNY Press, (State University of New York
Press) State University Plaza, Albany New York 12246. I am a former
principal of the Pierre Indian School in Pierre South Dakota and a
Cherokee Indian. I am also a Professor of American Indian Studies and
I teach American Indian Education as one of my subjects. I am only
telling you this because it is important that you understand that I
have seen this situation many times before ... and have described it
in the book which you might find helpful.
