The author herself spent ten traumatic months every year in an Indian boarding school, an experience that developed her political consciousness and keen sense of justice. The first Indian woman to serve on the Tulalip board of directors, she describes her story in a personal, often fierce style, revealing her tribe's powerful ties and enduring loyalty to land now occupied by others.--description from publisher's website.
