| Summary: | Doctor Marilyn Halpern grew up on a Six Nations Indian reserve in southern Ontario, Canada. She received her education in one-room schoolhouses on the reserve until she was 14, went to a white high school in town, then left the reserve when she got married at the age of 21. Halpern went on to earn her bachelor's degree at San Diego State and a PhD from the University of California, San Diego. She joined the faculty of San Diego State College in 1972, teaching sociology and anthropology. At the time of this interview, she was one of only two persons of American Indian descent on the San Diego State faculty. Names mentioned during the interview include: Louis R. Bruce, Richard M. Nixon, and Russell Means. San Diego State University The transcript is atrocious. Aside from the typos and general misspellings and the condition of the transcript as nearly illegible, Arel is sure that "Kuga" is an imaginative rendering of "Cayuga," and "Frankfurt," Ontario is actually "Brantford." She knows that because she lived in Brantford for almost 3 years. The latter is only in the keywords so it can actually be searched, although the scan in use on this date is so bad that it's unbelievable that it OCR'd well. Similarly, "uker" is parsed as "euchre," a card game and so noted in the keywords. Likewise, "Louis Bruce," retrieved from https://www.bia.gov/bia was substituted and placed in keywords instead of "Louie Groose" or "Grose" (as in the red correction).
