Offering personal accounts of the challenges that Native peoples face on the road to, through, and beyond graduate education, these autobiographical essays tackle themes including a commitment to tribal community, the need for Indigenous grounded and supported doctoral education, individual perseverance, the importance of faculty/program support, academic training for a future career, career trajectories, family and personal challenges, and persistence"-- |
