Remembering the Miami Indian Village Schoolhouse.
Nesper, Larry
American Indian Quarterly, v25 n1 p135-51 Win 2001
The Miami Indian Village Schoolhouse was the center of tribal life, 1860s-1920s. The old building was repatriated to its original site in 1998 in an ongoing process of community revitalization. Tribal historian and leader Lora Siders played an important role in the repatriation, which reinforces Miami collective memory and political legitimacy as the tribe strives to regain federal recognition.
