Trade Review
Louellyn White tells an incredibly powerful story of what Indian control of education means in this era of tribal self-determination and decolonization. Free to Be Mohawk is a significant addition to scholarly Indian education literature."" - John W. Tippeconnic III, coeditor of Voices of Resistance and Renewal: Indigenous Leadership in Education

""Beautifully written and respectfully told, this ethnographic case study is a much-needed examination of one Indigenous community's pathbreaking efforts to exercise educational sovereignty. The Akwesasne Freedom School stands as an exemplar of Indigenous schooling. This inspired account is a major contribution to Indigenous studies, education, applied linguistics, and all who work for education equity and justice."" - Teresa L. McCarty, author of A Place to Be Navajo: Rough Rock and the Struggle for Self-Determination in Indigenous Schooling
