Descrizione Garrett, M: Making Lamanites
From 1947 to 2000, some 50,000 Native American children left reservations to live with Mormon foster families. While some dropped out of the Indian Student Placement Program, for others the months spent living with LDS families proved more influential than expected. This volume traces student experiences within contested cultural landscapes to reveal how and why many of these Native youth adopted a new notion of Indianness.
