"As universities grapple with issues connected to slavery and the theft of Indigenous land, this example of a university and tribal nation developing a partnership and working toward aspects of restorative justice is very important."-Samantha M. Williams, author of Assimilation, Resilience, and Survival: A History of the Stewart Indian School, 1890-2020 "As a proud Native American (Ojibwe/Dakota) graduate of Miami University, I appreciate this book's willingness to take readers to where the truth usually resides: in the gray areas of ambivalence, cost-benefit analysis, and unintended consequences. Highly recommended."-Scott Richard Lyons, author of The World, the Text, and the Indian: Global Dimensions of Native American Literature
