Listening to Our Grandmothers' Stories: The Bloomfield Academy for Chickasaw Females, 1852-1949 (North American Indian Prose Award)
Listening to Our Grandmothers' Stories: The Bloomfield Academy for Chickasaw Females, 1852-1949 (North American Indian Prose Award)
Bloomfield Academy was founded in 1852 by the Chickasaw Nation in conjunction with missionaries. It remained open for nearly a century, offering Chickasaw girls one of the finest educations in the West. After being forcibly relocated to Indian Territory, the Chickasaws viewed education as instrumental to their survival in a rapidly changing world. Bloomfield became their way to prepare emerging generations of Chickasaw girls for new challenges and opportunities.
Amanda J. Cobb became interested in Bloomfield Academy because of her grandmother, Ida Mae Pratt Cobb, an alumna from the 1920s. Drawing on letters, reports, interviews with students, and school programs, Cobb recounts the academy’s success story. In stark contrast to the federally run off-reservation boarding schools in operation at the time, Bloomfield represents a rare instance of tribal control in education. For the Chickasaw Nation, Bloomfield—a tool of assimilation—became an important method of self-preservation.

GEAR Up Students Visit the Museum of Geology

GEAR Up Students Visit the Museum of Geology
A summer fixture on the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology campus, the SD GEAR UP Honors Program, is back for the 15th consecutive year.

The purpose of this program, previously known as SKILL and NASA Honors, is to prepare American Indian students to be successful in the college setting. This is a six-week residential program that will begin June 3 and will end July 13. The students have a full college experience, living in the residence halls, eating at the Surbeck dining hall and attending classes on campus.

Much of the funding for the program comes from a federal GEAR UP grant through the State of South Dakota Department of Education and it is operated through Oceti Sakowin and 23 partner schools, including American Horse, Batesland, Cheyenne Eagle Butte, Crazy Horse, Crow Creek, Enemy Swim, Little Wound, Loneman, Lower Brule, Marty Indian School, Our Lady of Lourdes, Pine Ridge, Porcupine Day, Rapid City North Middle School, Red Cloud Indian School, Red Shirt, Rocky Ford, Saint Francis Indian School, Takini, Tiospaye Zina, Todd County, Wakpala Smee, Wolf Creek and Wounded Knee.

School of Mines alumna Stacy Phelps, GEAR UP program director, has been involved in this program since its inception and was honored as a School of Mines Outstanding Recent Graduate in 2003. This year the program has attracted more than 200 students in grades 9-12 and several college students. Nearly two-thirds of the students are female, and approximately 85 percent of the students are American Indians, with many of the students as potential first-generation college students. Of those students who graduate from the program, virtually 100 percent also graduate from high school, 85 percent attend college and 7 percent enter the military.

Students must apply to enter the program and are selected based on academic achievement and teacher recommendations. Students represent all nine tribes in South Dakota: Cheyenne River, Crow Creek, Flandreau-Santee, Lower Brule, Oglala, Rosebud, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, Standing Rock and Yankton.

The curriculum includes math (algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus and college algebra), science (physical science, biology, chemistry and physics, including laboratories) and English, computers, and life skills (goal setting, leadership, study skills, personal finance, and college preparation). The curriculum also includes special initiatives including a science fair, Academic Olympics, SEMAA (Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Aerospace Academy) and a daily seminar. The curriculum is further enriched with field trips, recreation and sports, college visitation and cultural activities.

Lake Mohonk

Lake Mohonk
Mohonk Lake is a summer settlement at the northern end of Lake Mohonk, Ulster County, New York, U.S.A., about 14 m. N.W. of Poughkeepsie. It is served from New Paltz, about 1 m. S.E. (about 5 m. by stage), by the Wallkill Valley Railroad, a branch of the West Shore Railroad. The lake is a small body of water, picturesquely situated 1,245 ft. above the sea-level, on Sky Top Mountain (1,542 ft.), one of the highest peaks of the Shawangunk Ridge. The highest point of Sky Top lies just east of the south end of the lake; close by, to the west, Eagle Cliff rises to a height of 1,412 ft.

The development of this beautiful region into a summer resort and the holding of Indian and arbitration conferences here have been due to Albert Keith Smiley (b. 1828), a graduate of Haverford College (1849), who conducted an English and classical academy in Philadelphia in 1853-1857, was principal of the Oak Grove academy at Vassalboro, Maine, in 1858-1860, was principal and superintendent of the Friends’ school at Providence, Rhode Island, in 1860-1879, and became a member of the United States Board of Indian Commissioners in 1879.

In 1869 he bought, at the northern end of Lake Mohonk, a tract of land on which he built a large hotel, Mohonk Mountain House. Here, in October 1883, the first Conference of the Friends of the American Indian met; these conferences have since been held annually, their scope being enlarged in 1904 to include consideration of the condition of "other dependent peoples", i.e. the natives of the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. The first conference on international arbitration was held here in June 1895.

Carlisle vs. Army: Jim Thorpe, Dwight Eisenhower, Pop Warner, and the Forgotten Story of Football's Greatest Battle
In this stunning work of narrative nonfiction, Lars Anderson recounts one of college football’s greatest contests: Carlisle vs. Army, the fateful 1912 gridiron clash that had far-reaching implications both real and symbolic.

The story centers on three men: Glenn “Pop” Warner, who came to the Carlisle Indian School in 1903 and saw beyond its assimilationist agenda, molding the Carlisle Indians into a football juggernaut and smashing prejudices along the way; Jim Thorpe, who arrived at Carlisle as a troubled teenager–only to become one of America’s finest athletes, dazzling his opponents and gaining fans across the nation; and a hardnosed Kansan back named Dwight Eisenhower, who knew that by stopping Carlisle’s amazing winning streak, he could lead the Cadets of Army to glory. But beyond recounting the tale of this momentous match, Lars Anderson reveals its broader social and historical context, offering unique perspectives on sports and culture at the dawn of the twentieth century.

Filled with colorful period detail, Carlisle vs. Army gives a thrilling, authoritative account of the events of an epic afternoon whose reverberations would be felt for generations.

Praise for Carslisle vs. Army:

“Richly detailed and gracefully written . . . In an often overlooked football era, Anderson found a true Game of the Century.”
–Sports Illustrated

“[A] remarkable story . . . Carlisle vs. Army is about football the way that The Natural is about baseball.”
–Jeremy Schaap, author of Cinderella Man

“A great sports story, told with propulsive narrative drive . . . Anderson allows himself to get inside the heads of his characters, but as in the best sports-centered nonfiction (Hillenbrand’s Seabiscuit and Frost’s Greatest Game Ever Played, for example), the technique is based on solid research.”
–Booklist (starred review)

“A masterly tale of the gridiron.”
–Neal Bascomb, author of Red Mutiny

“A magnificent story that’s as rich in American history as it is in sporting lore. Carlisle vs. Army is a dramatic and moving book, told with an unrelenting grace.”
–Adrian Wojnarowski, author of The Miracle of St. Anthony

“Gripping, inspiring coverage of three powerful forces’ unforgettable convergence: the sports version of The Perfect Storm.”
–Kirkus Reviews
