The Way of Thorn and Thunder: The Kynship Chronicles by Daniel Heath Justice (review) gime, Lawrence provides a story about how a couple of Santa Clara tribal members were allowed to go to the St. Louis Exposition. During early 1904, Santa Clara potters were taken to fairs to showcase their potteries. A pottery artist demonstrated his or her art in front of nonNatives, who were amazed by the process and the designs of the potteries.

For example, True had hired a Santa Clara member who did not live in the community to build a chicken coop, but she was confronted by the community tribal government that she could not hire anyone who did not live in the community. She was not aware that the man did not reside in the community. From there she learned quickly not to hire anyone or do anything without checking in with the tribal government. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The American Indian Quarterly University of Nebraska Press

Abstract

gime, Lawrence provides a story about how a couple of Santa Clara tribal members were allowed to go to the St. Louis Exposition. During early 1904, Santa Clara potters were taken to fairs to showcase their potteries. A pottery artist demonstrated his or her art in front of nonNatives, who were amazed by the process and the designs of the potteries. Toward the end of the chapter, Lawrence recaps the lesson learned from the day school teacher, True. True's findings were about how to learn quickly in a non-Native setting and how oia federal policies were to assimilate the Santa Clara community. In addition, Lawrence brings in examples of why the teacher had to learn quickly to live and work among the people. For example, True had hired a Santa Clara member who did not live in the community to build a chicken coop, but she was confronted by the community tribal government that she could not hire anyone who did not live in the community. She was not aware that the man did not reside in the community. From there she learned quickly not to hire anyone or do anything without checking in with the tribal government.
