Drawing on her experience as a twentieth-century child raised in a Sisseton Santee Dakota family and under the jurisdictional policies that have created significant social isolation in American Indian reservation life, Cook-Lynn tells the story of her unexpectedly privileged and almost comedic “affirmative action” rise to a professorship in a regional western university.
Cook-Lynn explores how different opportunities and setbacks helped her become a leading voice in the emergence of American Indian studies as an academic discipline. She discusses lecturing to professional audiences, activism addressing nonacademic audiences, writing and publishing, tribal-life activities, and teaching in an often hostile and, at times, corrupt milieu.
Cook-Lynn frames her life’s work as the inevitable struggle between the indigene and the colonist in a global history. She has been a consistent critic of the colonization of American Indians following the treaty-signing and reservation periods of development. This memoir tells the story of how a thoughtful critic has tried to contribute to the debate about indigenousness in academia.
Elizabeth Cook-Lynn is professor emerita of English and Native Studies at Eastern Washington University. She received the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers’ Circle of the Americas, was the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship, and won the Gustavus Myers Center Award for the Study of Human Rights in North America. She cofounded Wíčazo Ša Review and is the author of several books, including Why I Can’t Read Wallace Stegner and Other Essays: A Tribal Voice; New Indians, Old Wars; A Separate Country: Postcoloniality and American Indian Nations; and Anti-Indianism in Modern America: A Voice from Tatekeya’s Earth.
