Abstract	The author had been teaching English at Pierce Community College in Tacoma, Washington, since 1973 when, in the early 1980s, their department was told that current laws demanded their hiring an American Indian to fill a full-time position that had opened. The search committee, she felt, made an excellent decision when they selected Dr. James McKay, PhD, who also had good references as a teacher and was a member of the Blackfeet tribe. In this article, the author describes some evidence of prejudice by the faculty and the tenure committee against Dr. McKay. (ERIC).
