Summary:

"Combining historical scholarship and first-person interviews and essays by Indigenous contributors, Being in Relation: Indigenous Peoples, the Land, and Texas Christian University, 1873-2023 centers Indigenous perspectives to examine the relations of an institution of higher education with Native communities and peoples across its history. What might healthy, respectful relations between Native peoples and institutions of higher education look like? How do the Indigenous lands upon which TCU resides teach important lessons? How does TCU's 150-year history with Indigenous peoples and the land in North Texas affect prospects for its present and future relationships with them?"-- Provided by publisher.
