In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a \"contrary warrior\" by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier's pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone's shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than \"a little bit of heaven.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWere all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested?
