Excerpt: OUR PEOPLE BELIEVE IN EDUCATION by Cameron M. Shriver and Bobbe Burke

OUR PEOPLE BELIEVE IN EDUCATION is the story of a tribe and university that collaborated to support Indigenous language and cultural revitalization.
Excerpt: Our People Believe in Education
Cameron M. Shriver is a senior research associate at the Myaamia Center at Miami University. Bobbe Burke is the Miami tribe relations coordinator emerita at the Myaamia Center at Miami University. Their most recent book Our People Believe in Education: The Unlikely Alliance of the Miami Tribe and Miami University (Nebraska, 2025) was published in October. Across the United States, many institutions are striving to acknowledge and repair oppressive pasts and unequal presents, even as Indigenous communities are struggling to reclaim and revitalize the philosophies and knowledges of their elders.
