Abstract | This article is a piece of the author's story. It offers examples of both difficult and inspiring moments that she has encountered as an Indigenous woman graduate student and as an assistant professor in a predominantly white institution. The first part of this article depicts overt acts of discrimination that occurred when she was a graduate student at a Big Ten university. She also shares with readers how community members' lives served as role models in finding answers to difficult and trying times. The second half of the article describes events that have taken place at her current institution, where she is an assistant professor. These events illustrate a campus climate that openly discourages activism and supports the privileged voice within the colonialist system. (Contains 12 notes.) (ERIC). |
