Draws on diary entries and correspondence from students to tell the story of the early years of Haskell Institute, a government boarding school designed to “civilize” and acculturate Indians to Anglo-American ideals. Reveals how both resistance against and compliance with the dominant culture unified the students and erased traditional barriers between tribes.
Based on dozens of interviews with faculty and students, Making Climate Lawyers fills a gap in the literature on the intellectual history of climate change, most of which focuses on the history of climate science.
