A History of Diné Experiences in the Mormon Indian Placement Program
This presentation explores underexamined ecologies of education in the 20th century United States. From first-hand oral histories and archival documents, this presentation shares a history of Diné/Navajo who were removed from family and placed for varying periods of time with white Mormon foster families ostensibly to obtain an education.
