Guest Talk: The Dakota Way of Life, with Philip J. Deloria
Honoring 1915 TC Alumna Ella Cara Deloria’s Legacy in Education
The legacy of Teachers College Alumna & Dakota scholar Ella Cara Deloria can be found in many places in education. At Teachers College, she earned a bachelor of science degree and special teaching certification and later worked with Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, and Ruth Benedict to conduct the first of its kind research bridging Native cultural perspectives to the anthropology field — paving the way for Indigenous scholarship at Teachers College, Columbia University, and academia nationwide.
Join us in celebrating her legacy and award winning book, The Dakota Way of Life, with Ella Cara Deloria’s great nephew, Dr. Philip Deloria, Leverett Saltontsall Professor of History at Harvard University.
