The alternating chapters are closely based on two real-life students, Ivy Miller, a semi-orphaned white girl seeking a free education, and Sylvester Long, a black youth escaping the Jim Crow South. Both passed illegally as Indians while attending the U.S. government's most prestigious Indian boarding school."@en . . . . . . "School for tricksters : a novel in stories"@en . . . . .
