Book
Standing tall : the lifeway of Kathryn Jones Harrison, chair of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community / by Kristine Olson.
"How does a woman survive a concerted campaign to deny her humanity by the government at the national level and by her foster parents and spouse at the most intimate level? Standing Tall, the biography of Oregon tribal leader Kathryn Jones Harrison, recounts the Grand Rondes' resurgence from the ashes of disastrous federal policies designed to terminate their very existence. The tribe's revival paralleled - and was propelled by - Harrison's determination to overcome daunting personal odds."--BOOK JACKET.
