The UMM Campus Conceived at the outset as a four-year liberal arts college, UMM was to serve not only the population of west central Minnesota, but also was to provide an educational opportunity for students throughout the state who sought a University of Minnesota undergraduate liberal education in a small college setting. The guiding principles of selective admission, controlled growth, and academic excellence in a residential campus atmosphere have not changed for three and a half decades. In 1994, with 1924 students and 120 teaching faculty, UMM combines the living-learning environment of the small liberal arts college with the advantages of being a college of the University of Minnesota. The UMM baccalaureate program is structured but flexible, requiring students to take responsibility for their own learning. The focus is on developing one's intellectual abilities while expanding the horizons of one's knowledge. The members of the faculty, representing over 25 academic fields, are organized into four divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, Science and Mathematics, and Education. A 16-to- 1 student-faculty ratio and a strong institutional commitment to individual attention bring UMM students into frequent contact with faculty; undergraduates often assist faculty in research and professional activities. The UMM student body is made up of a diverse and talented group of men and women. The campus attracts students from throughout Minnesota and more than 20 other states and foreign countries. Over 50 percent of entering freshmen rank in the top 10 percent of their high school class; over 70 percent in the top 20 percent. The majority of students live in on-campus housing, creating a strong sense of community at UMM.

About Educators toolkit Multicultural programs Members ... Links An Overview of Private Education Private or independent schools have a long and respected history in Minnesota going back before the founding of our state. In Minnesota, private/independent K-12 schools educate 10% of the state's children and save the taxpayers considerable money every year through the reduced number of children in the public school system. The language of private schools can be a little confusing at times, but the Minnesota Independent School Forum, or MISF, is dedicated to working with K-12 schools, families and students to enhance education in Minnesota. Here is a brief overview of private school terms and options: Private School. A school that is not governed and operated by the state education system. A private school can either be nonprofit, as most are, or for profit. Generally the term is used to all types of schools not operated by the state, such as parochial schools, boarding schools, etc. Private schools can be religious or not religious (nonsectarian). Independent School.

- Not a Bad Idea
Ted Rueter
In 1994, Newt Gingrich suggested placing children of teen mothers in orphanages. If they could not support their children, the Republican Congressman said, "America should tell them, 'We'll help you with foster care. We'll help with orphanages. We'll help you with adoption.'" His suggestion was ridiculed. Syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman called orphanages "Dickensian institutions." Hillary Rodham Clinton said that "the idea of putting children into orphanages because their mothers couldn't find jobs" was "unbelievable and absurd." Remarkably, four years later, Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson put forth a similar proposal - to a very positive reaction. In his recent State of the State address, Mr. Carlson, a Republican, proposed to create three residential academies for at-risk kids. Each school would house from 50 to 75 students. He suggested a total budget of $12 million. The Minnesota state legislature, controlled by Democrats, appropriated Carlson's entire request. The schools will be open year-round, 24 hours a day. They're intended for 12- to 18-year-olds not yet in serious trouble, but whose parents either can't or won't take care of them. Possibilities include the chronic truant, the child diagnosed with behavioral and emotional difficulties, kids labeled incorrigible, children passed from one foster home to another.

Office hours: vary and by appointment Brenda Child teaches courses on multiculturalism and American Indian history. In 1995 and 1996 she co-taught a National Endowment for the Humanities Seminar, "The Construction of Gender and the Experience of Women in American Indian Societies," with Professor Patricia Albers at the D'Arcy McNickle Center for the Hisotry of the American Indian at the Newberry Library. She is now completing a book manuscript about boarding schools and American Indian families. Child's research was inspired by her grandmother's experiences at the Flandreau Indian Boarding School in South Dakota during the 1920s. Boarding school records, largely untouched over the years, preserved hundreds of letters written by Indians. These exceptional documents, left by Native students in the schools and their families at home, provide the foundation of the study. So Far Away: Boarding Schools and American Indian Families, 1900-1940 will be published by the University of Nebraska Press and won the 1996 North American Indian Prose Award.

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.

("Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978")
The wholesale separation of Indian children from their families is perhaps the most tragic and destructive aspect of American Indian life today. Surveys of States with large Indian populations conducted by the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) in 1969 and again in 1974 indicate that approximately 25-35 percent of all Indian children are separated from their families and placed in foster homes, adoptive homes, or institutions. In some States the problem is getting worse: in Minnesota, one in every eight Indian children un 18 years of age is living in an adoptive home; and, in 1971-72, nearly one in every four Indian children under 1 year of age was adopted. The Federal boarding school and dormitory programs also contribute to the destruction of Indian family and community life. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in its school census for 1971, indicates that 34,538 children live in its institutional facilities rather than at home. The represents more than 17 percent of the Indian school age population of federally-recognized reservations and 60 percent of the children enrolled in BIA schools. On the Navajo Reservation, about 20,000 children or 90 percent of of the BIA school population in grades K-12, live at boarding schools. A number of Indian children are also institutionalized in mission schools, training schools, etc.

Courtesy of Pipestone County Museum and National Register Collection In 1892, the first Pipestone Indian School building was finished. Children began arriving from all over the Midwest from such tribes as the Dakota, Oneida, Pottawatomie, Arickarree, Sac and Fox. As was typical of federal Indian vocational schools, students usually spent half their day in the classroom and the other half learning occupations such as farming, blacksmithing, masonry, carpentry, cooking, baking, and nursing. The training of students in these industrial skills was resented by many Indians who saw this essentially as menial chores. As government programs changed, funding decreased, and the role of the Indian school diminished until 1953 when the school was closed. When Southwestern Vocational Technical Institute opened in 1976, nearly all of the original Indian School buildings were removed or destroyed. However, the Superintendent's Residence survived and was used as a private residence until 1983. Since that time the building has been the property of Minnesota West Community College (although the name has been changed several times) and used for storage.

I saw this silly commercial that stated "You can not live without water but you can live without art?" ( I always say NO.) [And that is their point...but, I imagine that there are people who say yes, just because art is not a huge priority in the dominant society.] We didn’t have a word for art long ago. Art and life were one and the same. I can not live without art or making art. There are times when I am not actually producing physical articles. I am however, always in process. ‘My Work’ is how I communicate things that simply can not be put into words. My work documents my observations, my responses to injustices my outrage at crimes committed in the past and continue to play out their brutal legacy. What began as an investigation has become a burning obsession. Early investigations began when I began responding to images of my grandmother. I inherited several photographs when my great aunt Lucy passed on. My grandmother violently scratched her face out of every photograph that existed of her. There were pictures of Lucy that were scratched out as well... I remember doing the same thing to my own pictures in a high school year book. Those pictures of my grandmother haunted me. Both my grandmother, my mother and countless others grew up in Indian boarding schools. I heard horrible stories. It was important to my mother that my sisters and brothers went to ‘regular’ schools. My parents did not move back to the reservation until my youngest brother graduated from high school. I wanted to know more about my grandmother and our heritage. My mother told me to go look in a book because she didn’t know anything...

EDITORIAL/OPINIONS Kegg's legacy lies in cultural appreciation
W e could all learn about the value of cultural diversity from the loss of Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe elder Maude Kegg. She succumbed to congestive heart failure Jan. 6 at the age of 94, and with her went a priceless amount of cultural richness. Her gifts to us did not go unnoticed. In 1990, President Bush presented Kegg with a National Heritage Fellowship Award, and Gov. Rudy Perpich declared Aug. 24, 1986, Maude Kegg Day. The Smithsonian Museum Collection of Native Crafts includes many pieces of her work, and Kegg wrote or contributed to many books about Ojibwe language and traditions. Born in 1902, she was one of a dwindling number of Minnesotans still able to speak fluent Ojibwe. Much has been lost, and we all pay the price with a less vibrant mix of peoples. It would seem that the forced acculturation policies of our past federal and state governments have returned to haunt us. The "kill the Indian, save the man" mind-set is an ugly part of our nation's history. A resurgence of interest in indigenous cultures has led to a call to preserve native languages. Many Native American linguists are scrambling to save the rich traditions that make up their heritages. Kegg's daughter, Betty, is scrambling as well.

NETWORK Activist calls language act dangerous
Shannon Hahn
Staff Reporter W hen American Indian activist Harold Iron Shield was in second grade a government social worker took him from his grandparents home and enrolled him in a boarding school where he was forced to speak English. "I was punished many times for speaking my language," said Iron Shield, whose native language is Dakota. Iron Shield told the story Wednesday to community members at a West Bank bookstore as he explained the value of tribal languages and encouraged people to take action against the National Language Act of 1995 presently in congress. Iron Shield said the act will deprive Native Americans of the bilingual education programs they have recently established. Iron Shield told a crowd gathered in the Mayday Bookstore how he and other Native Americans were stripped of their language and culture by the American government. Iron Shield said the language act reminds him of the treatment he received at the boarding school in the early 1960s. The language act would declare English the official language of the United States government. It would require all government communication, such as publications, tax forms and informational material, to be conducted in English.
