| Summary: | "This account is of a Cree/Saulteaux woman's twenty-year career as a public school teacher beginning in 1960s Regina, when discrimination and other abuses often went unchallenged, and the education system was starving for visionary reform. Gloria Mehlmann shares her challenges and transformations amid the vivid tapestry of students she taught and who ultimately taught her. Devotees and specialists of memoir, Native Studies, Education, and Women's Studies will want to immerse themselves in these pages. Critical yet uplifting, the strong prose of Gifted to Learn reveals another of Mehlmann's talents - she is a first-rate storyteller."--Jacket.
