Book Discussion: 'News of the World' and 'The Captured' (On Campus)

Discussion: Why did kidnapped children on the American Frontier choose to stay with their Native American kidnappers? They apparently became Indian in every way and rarely adjusted when returned to their birth families even if their stay with their capturers was less than a year. Is this an indictment of Western culture?
We will read “News of the World” by Paulette Jiles and 'The Captured” by Scott Zesch on our own before meeting for discussion on Thursday, April 4th at 1 pm.
Coordinator: Grace Limoncelli
