In this first of a series on critical race theory in education, Fletcher (Michigan State U. College of Law) uses fictionalized narrative concerning a Michigan Indian tribe, loosely based on the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, to examine a range of modern educational issues facing American Indians in grade schools, colleges, and professional schools. Seven narratives feature a community activist seeking to change the sports team name of the local high school; a high school history teacher working to improve the curriculum concerning American-Indian relations; two Indian high school students falsely accused of starting a fight with a non-Indian student; an Indian student weighing the social, political, and familial motivations for attaining a college education; Indian students confronting a secret society on a University campus that mocks American Indian cultures; Indian students and a white professor exposing another non-Indian academic who falsely writes from an Indian perspective; a first amendment legal dispute concerning a presentation by a traditional pipe carrier in a public school classroom; and a Supreme Court case concerning whether a private school founded by the tribe can refuse to accept non-Indians.
