Summary |
""Inappropriation: The Contested Legacy of Y-Indian Guides" traces the 77-year history of a youth development program that, at its height, engaged over a half million participants annually. Beginning with idealistic origins, intending to soften the stereotypical stern father, Y-Indian Guides traced a complicated thread of American history, touching upon themes of family, race, class, and privilege. Y-Indian Guides was a father-son (and later parent-child) program established in 1926 by Harold Keltner, a YMCA Boys Work secretary from St. Louis, MO, and Joe Friday, a member of the Canadian Ojibwe First Peoples. Keltner and Friday harnessed white middle-class fascination with Native Americans into what became Y-Indian Guides"-- Provided by publisher |
