Clyde Ellis’s first book, To Change Them Forever: Indian Education at the Rainy Mountain Boarding School, 1893-1920 has been reissued in paperbook by the University of Oklahoma Press.
Originally published in 1996, the book won the 1997 Gustavus Myers Prize for the Outstanding Book on Racial Intolerance in North America and is widely regarded as the best scholarly work in print on reservation boarding schools. Ellis, Professor of History, is on sabbatical for the fall semester to write his fifth book, a history and ethnography of the Indian hobbyist movement in the United States.
