Description
"Capturing Education examines the emergence and growth of the first tribal colleges. Based on extended interviews with more than a dozen founders, long-serving presidents, and non-Indian advocates, it explores the motivations of early leaders. It also describes how they overcame widespread assumptions that Indians did not need a college education or were not capable of running their own colleges. This story, rarely told, is filled with moments of drama as leaders describe how they fought to gain funding and respect. Against the odds, the men and women featured in these pages demonstrate how a good idea, when pursued with energy and idealism, can gain support and succeed."--Book cover.
