As a child, Georgia Lucas was always fascinated by stories about Indians and liked to play school, but it was not until she married and had three children that she became a certified bilingual teacher and headed west from Indiana to teach Indians. Her unique experiences emerge from teaching first grade, junior high, high school, and college level Indian students. While employed at a high school, Lucas also became writer and coordinator of Title I projects for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. During her 22 years of teaching, Lucas was the recipient of several teaching awards and was featured in Who's Who Among American Teachers in 1996. In "White Woman in a Red Man's World", Lucas expounds her philosophy of teaching with the belief that teachers' accurate assessments of students' needs, well devised lesson plans, and skillful presentations add to the legitimacy of the teaching profession just as well conceived diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatments give legitimacy to the medical profession. Her inspiration books includ "The Hanging of Hiram the Hoss, a historical novel, and In Spite Of Cancer, an inspirational book for cancer victims and families. -- back cover.
