Despite his education and his obvious acceptance of the idea of Indian assimilation into the white world, Chauncey Yellow Robe was adamant about maintaining Native American authenticity and gained a reputation as an outspoken critic of the Wild West shows that were so popular at the time. Chauncey's life embodied the cultural conflict that still permeates American society.

This book tells the story of Henry Roe Cloud, the first Native American to graduate from Yale. His contributions to theological inquiry, the education of Native Americans, and the formulation of government policies contribute to his inclusion in any list of the most prominent Native Americans in history.
