Quotations with a citation

My mother was a teacher, having graduated from the Pembroke State College for Indians in 1945, and she loved books.

I could see the issues that American Indians were facing – that many of us were land and resource poor, that to many people we were invisible and were treated as second-class citizens, that we had no voice in matters of great importance to our communities

We needed to encourage more understanding, engagement and collaboration between Carolina and the Indian community.

Everyone’s got a part to play when it comes to supporting the success of American Indians in the educational experience.
