註釋Dartmouth College began life as an Indian school, a pretense that has since been abandoned. Still, the institution has a unique, if complicated, relationship with Native Americans and their history. Beginning with Samson OccomÕs role as the first Òdevelopment officerÓ of the college, Colin G. Calloway tells the entire, complex story of DartmouthÕs historical and ongoing relationship with Native Americans. Calloway recounts the struggles and achievements of Indian attendees and the history of Dartmouth alumniÕs involvements with American Indian affairs. He also covers more recent developments, such as the mascot controversies, the emergence of an active Native American student organization, and the partial fulfillment of a promise deferred. This is a fascinating picture of an elite American institution and its troubled relationshipÑ at times compassionate, at times conflictedÑwith Indians and Native American culture.
