From 1947 to 2000, some 50,000 Native American children left the reservations to live with Mormon foster families. The access to educational opportunities and cross cultural experiences appealed to many Navajo and other Native American families in the post-war years. Some dropped out of the Indian Student Placement Program (ISPP) program, but for others the months spent in LDS families often proved more penetrating than expected. Making Lamanites traces this student experience within contested cultural and institutional landscapes to reveal how and why many of these Native youth adopted a new notion of Indianness. The ISPP emerged in the mid-twentieth century, championed by Apostle Spencer W. Kimball. The program aligned with the then national preferences to terminate tribal entities and assimilate indigenous people. But as the paradigm shifted to self-determination, critics labeled the program as crudely assimilationist. Some ISPP students like Navajo George P. Lee fiercely defended the LDS Church before Native peers and Congress, contending that it empowered Native people and instilled the true Indian identity, while Red Power activists organized protests in Salt Lake City, denouncing LDS colonization. As a new generation of church leaders quietly undercut the Indian programs, many of its former participants felt a sense of confusion and abandonment as Mormon distinction for Native people faded in the late twentieth century"--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 610 20 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.|bIndian Student Placement Program|xHistory. 650 0 Church work with Indians|xChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 HISTORY / North America.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Native American.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) |2bisacsh 650 9 Indian foster children|xEducation|zUnited States|xHistory |y20th century. 650 9 Indians of North America|xCultural assimilation|xHistory |y20th century. 650 9 Indians of North America|xEducation|xHistory|y20th century. 650 9 Indians of North America|xEthnic identity|xHistory|y20th century. 650 9 Indian students|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 United States|xEthnic relations|xHistory|y20th century. 690 7 Indigenous peoples|zNorth America|xEducation|xHistory |y20th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Indigenous peoples|zNorth America|xEthnic identity |xHistory|y20th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Indigenous peoples|zNorth America|xCultural assimilation |xHistory|y20th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Indigenous foster children|xEducation|zUnited States |xHistory|y20th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Indigenous students|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. |2local DEI term 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGarrett, Matthew, 1978-|tMaking Lamanites.|dSalt Lake City : The University of Utah Press, [2016]|z9781607814948|w(DLC) 2016005203|w(OCoLC)951778474 914 ocn975272171 994 92|bGTK
