Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this oral history interview, Joseph Thomas Flies-Away (formerly Joseph William Thomas, Jr.) describes his undergraduate days at Stanford with a focus on his work within the Native American community and in Student Affairs. Flies-Away offers insights into Native American student life at Stanford during the 1980s, describing incidents of Native American student activism and detailing his efforts to build bridges within and beyond the Stanford community and to educate the community about Native culture. He expresses his frustration at the lack of Native American and ethnic studies offerings in the curriculum and the dearth of Native American professors. Throughout the interview he reads portions of documents that he has collected related to Native American affairs at Stanford and excerpts from his own poetry and writings.
