Title: Listening to our grandmothers' stories
First published: 2000
Description: "Drawing on letters, reports, interviews with students, and school programs, Cobb tells the story of Bloomfield and its students, showing the type of education that the Chickasaw students received, how Bloomfield's curriculum changed over time, and the elements that set the academy apart from most other schools attended by Native American children even after it was taken over by the federal government.

For the Chickasaw Nation, Bloomfield, a tool of assimilation, became in reality an important method of self-preservation."--BOOK JACKET.
