The Christian Science Monitor Tuesday, April 2, 2002 Lesson No. 1: Shed your Indian identity By Tim Vanderpool Special to The Christian Science Monitor W hether toddlers or teens, they were taken from home and shipped thousands of miles to dreary barracks. Their hair was cut, they were given new names, and each was assigned a number. The United States government began this brutal attempt at social engineering in 1879. Breaking rebellious Indians by indoctrinating their children in Anglo ways was considered a cost-effective alternative to war. But the personal cost to native Americans was incalculable. “Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience,” an exhibit at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, examines this dark chapter of American history. Exhibits and books about native American boarding schools give the public “some clue about where we’ve been, and that we’re now really making a massive attempt to participate in American academic life,” says Elizabeth Cook-Lynn of South Dakota’s Crow-Creek Reservation, author of “Anti-Indianism in Modern America.” The Heard, nationally renowned for its indigenous art and artifact collections, considers this to be the most comprehensive exhibition ever offered about the boarding schools.

Indian mascots were created in boarding schools in the late 19th century. They were created from actual human flesh, the bodies and spirits of little innocent children were destroyed in a human sacrifice to white racial supremacy. Children were taken from home and family. They were incarcerated in institutions that were work camps run by Christian Churches. They were brainwashed and tortured in order to eliminate their connection to family and religious origins. They were not treated as human beings who deserved mother, father and family at their side but as a social experiment like rats in a laboratory. These children were forced to work to produce salable goods for hours and hours in a day. They were worked in pseudo academic exercises to create a feel good and economic enterprise for White America. They were crowed into institutions and sexually molested by the staff. Children were universally named and trained as mascot INDIANS in these schools. They were rewarded for playing football and baseball and were pitted against white schools. This time in the USA was a period in which colored minorities were considered less than human. The boarding schools were an attempt to prove that American Indians, conditioned with in a controlled and regulated environment could give responses and behave as white people. This social experiment has created infinitely more problems than solutions.

NATIVE AMERICANS: MISSION SCHOOLS Mary Madden (Kansas State Historical Society): The educational philosophy common to all mission schools was to Christianize and to convert. Both the government and the churches saw benefit of having the mission schools. The government, because they wanted the Indian problem resolved. They had battles with the Native Americans ... to remove them from certain areas that were being settled by farmers and immigrants; and the missionaries saw it as an opportunity to proselytize, to promote their individual religions, either Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Quakers, they were all involved in the mission movement. MARY MADDEN SERVED AS PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE POTAWATOMIE BAPTIST MISSION'S MANUAL LABOR TRAINING SCHOOL, WHICH DATES BACK TO 1848. SHE EXPLAINS THAT SUCH MISSION SCHOOLS WERE SUPPORTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH VIEWED THEM AS USEFUL IN THE INDOCTRINATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS INTO WHAT WAS CONSIDERED "CIVILIZED" SOCIETY. Mary: They were trying to teach these children not just mainstream ways of writing and reading and things like that but they were trying to give them roles in society so that when they were an adult, they would know the traditional domestic chores of women and could sew and cook in the traditional ways of mainstream society. And the boys could then have jobs as blacksmiths or farmers.

Cherokee Female Seminary, 1851 The Challenges and Limitations of Assimilation Indian Board Schools Information for this article was provided by the National Parks Service, Racial Desegregation in Public Education in the United States, Theme Study August 2000. Click an image to read its caption. The legacy of non-reservation Native American boarding schools can be traced to the ideas and efforts of one man, Captain Richard Henry Pratt. A cavalry officer who had commanded African American troops against American Indians in the west, Pratt developed his notion of "assimilation through total immersion" while in charge of incarcerated Indians at Ft. Marion Florida. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Pratt did not believe there were innate genetic differences in American Indians. For him, environment explained all of human nature. Using the specious analogy that slavery had assimilated African Americans, Pratt contended that non-reservation boarding schools could accomplish the same result for native peoples. In 1879, Pratt got his chance to test his experiment when an old army barracks in Pennsylvania was transformed into the Carlisle Indian School (a National Historic Landmark). With Pratt as both founder and superintendent, Carlisle became the model for federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) boarding schools across the Midwest and Southwest during the late 19th century. By 1902, there existed 25 federally supported, non-reservation boarding schools for American Indians across 15 states and territories with a total enrollment of 6,000 students. In Alaska, two boarding schools at Sitka and Wrangell were also created with the express purpose of providing manual and domestic training for a select group of Alaska Native children, those considered "the brightest boys and girls."

Table of Contents American Indian Boarding School Experiences: Recent Studies from Native Perspectives Julie Davis Reprinted from the OAH Magazine of History 15 (Winter 2001). ISSN 0882-228X In the past decade, the study of American Indian boarding schools has grown into one of the richest areas of American Indian history. The best of this scholarship has moved beyond an examination of the federal policies that drove boarding school education to consider the experiences of Indian children within the schools, and the responses of Native students and parents to school policies, programs, and curricula. Recent studies by David Wallace Adams, K. Tsianina Lomawaima, Brenda Child, Sally Hyer, and Esther Burnett Horne and Sally McBeth have used archival research, oral interviews, and photographs to consider the history of boarding schools from American Indian perspectives. In doing so, they have begun to uncover the meaning of boarding school education for Indian children, families, and communities, past and present. Perhaps the most fundamental conclusion that emerges from boarding school histories is the profound complexity of their historical legacy for Indian people's lives.The diversity among boarding school students in terms of age, personality, family situation, and cultural background created a range of experiences, attitudes, and responses. Boarding schools embodied both victimization and agency for Native people, and they served as sites of both cultural loss and cultural persistence. These institutions, intended to assimilate Native people into mainstream society and eradicate Native cultures, became integral components of American Indian identities and eventually fueled the drive for political and cultural self-determination in the late twentieth century.

Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900–1940 By Brenda J. Child. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1998. 145 pp. $35.00. Brenda J. Child’s first book powerfully reveals the experiences and perspectives of American Indian students who attended federal boarding schools. In Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900–1940 , Child skillfully uses primary documents, personal letters, and school newspapers to unveil the important stories of Ojibwe children who attended the Haskell Institute in Kansas and the Flandreau School in South Dakota. The historical context in which the Ojibwe lived is vividly captured in actual letters and documents from the schools and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). This book provides a glimpse into Ojibwe families’ thoughts, motivations, and hopes for the future — perspectives that have often been overlooked in historical research. “Letters are at the heart of this story” (p. xii), Child writes, referring to the hundreds of letters written by Ojibwe children and their parents. Each chapter introduces a theme that shapes and further explains cultural nuances and knowledge familiar to, and shared by many, Ojibwe families impacted by the boarding school experience. In chapter one, “Star Quilts and Jim Thorpe,” the author states, “The boarding school experience spanned several generations and affected dozens of tribes in the United States and Canada. The experience . . . has become part of our common heritage as North American Indians” (p. 8).

Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875-1928 By David Wallace Adams. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1995. 396 pp. $29.95 (paper). Education for Extinction is a poignant and heartbreaking book that chronicles the infamous history of the U.S. government's efforts to indoctrinate, deculturalize, and "Americanize" Native peoples through the use of boarding schools. Under the guise of "progress" and "civilization," thousands of native children were forcefully removed from their families and cultures, and deprived of their peoples' history. This book testifies to both the cruelties perpetrated against the hearts and minds of children and to the many acts of courage and resistance performed by these children. The genesis of U.S. government policy towards Native people began in the 1780s. The prevailing Lockean mentality held that only a society established on a consensus of private property could promote social stability, political independence, and public morality. As Adams notes: Whether discussing the Indians' worship of pagan gods, their simple organizations, or their dependency on wild game for subsistence, white observers found Indian society wanting. Indian life, it was argued, constituted a lower order of human society. In a word, Indians were savages because they lacked the very thing whites possessedcivilization. And since, by the law of historical progress and the doctrine of social evolution, civilized ways were destined to triumph over savagism, Indians would ultimately confront a fateful choice: civilization or extinction. (pp. 5-6)

Journal of American Indian Education Volume 35 Number 3 May 1996 PREFACE The inspiration for this Special Issue grew out of a meeting of consultants to the Heard Museum. Karen Swisher (Haskell Indian Nations University), Rayna Green (Smithsonian Institution), Tsianina Lomawaima (University of Arizona), and Brenda Child (University of Minnesota), were invited in 1995 by Curator of Fine Art Margaret Archuleta, under the auspices of a National Endowment for the Humanities Planning Grant, to help plan an exhibit on American Indians' boarding school experiences tentatively titled "Our Indian Schools" (scheduled to open at the Heard in the spring of 1999). We hope that this Special Issue will help stimulate continuing research, dialogue, and debate about American Indian people's experiences in, and opinions about, boarding school. It is clear that there is much that remains to be done. Large off-reservation schools, such as Sherman Institute in Riverside, CA, as well as many smaller schools, on and off reservations, remain undocumented. Most of the research to date has focused on the schools prior to World War II. The more contemporary era from the War to the present is wide open, inviting those with the interest and the commitment to help document, preserve, and understand the educational experiences of American Indian people. We are looking forward to what the future will bring. K. Tsianina Lomawaima, Guest Editor

LESSON FIVE SCHOOL RECORDS Education for Michigan Indians began with the arrival of the missionaries. A Mission was established on Mackinac Island in 1823 by the United Foreign Missionary Society. It was ministered by Rev. William M. Ferry. The school averaged 150 students per year until it was closed in 1834. In 1839 Rev. Peter Doughtery came to the Grand Traverse region and began his mission and school. The Holy Childhood of Jesus mission was founded in 1827 with the first school building constructed that year, next to the church in Little Traverse (now called Harbor Springs.) Ottawa, Chippewa, Potawatomi, Winnebago, Menominee and some children from other out-of-state tribes came long distances and boarded at the school. A few nearby students also attended as day students. In 1843 the Methodist Church opened Wesleyan Seminary (later changed to Albion College) in Albion and during the 1850's taught basic reading, writing and arithmetic. There were other mission schools though out Michigan and those records will be found in with the church's records. Then the United States government got into the education business. "The Treaty of 1855 removed control of Indian schools from the missionaries and placed responsibility for Ottawa education firmly in the hands of the federal government. Of the country's forty-eight federally supported Indian schools, twenty were in Michigan, located at Onawmeceeneville, Eagletown, Grove Hill, Pine River, Bear River, Little Traverse, Middle Village, Cross Village, Cheboygan, Iroquois Point, Sugar Island, Garden Island, and in Isabella, Mason and Oceana counties."* Three government schools were constructed in Elbridge township and two in Crystal township in Oceana county and one each in Eden and Custer townships in Mason county.

Time has yellowed the pages and broken the spines. But some of those names now appear in our history books names such as Rafael Trujillo, a South American dictator who sent his children to what was then a Kansas City boarding school in 1957 to escape threats of political assassination. His children were classmates to children of foreign consulates and diplomats, who also sought an education for their children at the French-speaking school in Kansas City. For a short time, the school, which was founded here in 1912, also educated a blonde 15-year-old named Harlene Carpentier, who later became famous as Jean Harlow. Frequent early visitors to the school included royalty, such as a Romanian princess who was a friend of the head of the school. Not only does the school boast famous students, but worldwide attendance also led to a school with international ties.
