Description: "This book is a microhistory, or an ethnographic reconstruction, of how Office of Indian Affairs school personnel, Pueblo Indians, and Hispanos carried out and appropriated federal Indian policy in the northern Rio Grande valley, a nexus for a number of colonial policies. Drawing on correspondence between Clara D. True, an Office of Indian Affairs (OIA) day school teacher stationed at Santa Clara Pueblo, and Clinton J. Crandall, superintendent of the Santa Fe Indian School ... I demonstrate how school sites and school personnel were respectively hubs and intermediaries for a variety of issues, including land, public health, citizenship, schooling, and education"--Introduction.
