Pleasant Indian School Annual Bibliographic Note Navigational Buttons More Native American Material Clarke Home page Traditional Indian Education The traditional way through which Native American children were educated for the responsibilities that they would assume as adults was by working with and imitating their elders. There was no "school" as it was understood by nineteenth century Europeans. Rather, children were allowed to roam freely throughout the community stopping and asking questions when and where they pleased. Children would work companionably alongside their parents or other adults, helping in small ways and gaining confidence and ability in various skills. Children often engaged in what the Dakota referred to as "small play," impersonating adults and mimicking their activities, conversations, and manners. Grandparents played a very important role in the education of children. Grandmothers, for example, bore responsibility for making girls "well behaved women." A grandmother would take it upon herself to tutor her granddaughter in the subtleties of daily life, such as how to move, how to interact with elders, where to sit at ceremonial occasions. In the evening it was common to send a daughter to her grandmother bearing a gift of food or tobacco. The gift was an invitation to the grandmother to instruct the child in the tribe's traditions that would help the girl understand both her place in the tribe and her people's place in the world.

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.

LESSON FIVE SCHOOL RECORDS Education for Wisconsin Indians began with the arrival of the missionaries. The 1880's brought another change. It now became standard practice for Indian children to be taken from their families and sent to boarding schools. After graduation students from Wisconsin went to: Flandreau, South Dakota, Genoa, Nebraska; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; and Haskell in Lawrence, Kansas. Occasionally two students would meet while at school and marry, with one or both never to return to their original home. It is possible to find if one of your ancestors attended a boarding school and which one. One of the questions on the federal census of 1910 Indian Schedule was about schools attended. The 1900 census (taken during the school year) lists the students as residents of the schools. Indian census rolls, such as the Durant Roll of 1908, list the school name as place of residence for students away from home. School records can give name, age, and names of parents. Siblings are sometimes sent to the same school, as are children in neighboring families. Among the government schools attended by Wisconsin Indian students were: Haskell Institute was established in 1884 in Lawrence, Kansas. Records 1884-1954 are available at the National Archives - Kansas City Branch, 2312 East Bannister Road, Kansas City, MO 64131 (861) 926-6272. These include general correspondence 1886-1954; individual student folders 1884-1954; student records 1894-1896; records of accounts of individual Indians 1909- 1954; claims files, and minutes of Haskell Club Meetings. (LDS film 1205530 has school census reports 1939-1942; films 1025530, 1239896, 1249897, and 1249899 also have information on Haskell students.).

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.

Volume 22, Issue 10 October, 2001 National News Briefs U of Hawaii commits funds to provide access for Native Hawaiians University of Hawaii President Evan Dobelle said that he has committed $1.5 million to fund initiatives supporting access and academic excellence for Native Hawaiians at UH. Dobelle said the decision stemmed from the state Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a state law that calculated how much the state must pay the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in ceded-land revenues. He also announced the university will discuss with OHA and other organizations, such as Kamehameha Schools, how UH can best achieve its goal of creating an "environment of access'' for its Native Hawaiian students. Dobelle added that among the issues to be addressed as the university develops a five- to seven-year plan is the status of Native Hawaiian students, faculty and curriculum within the university system. "As the state's public system of higher education, our comprehensive mission is to serve all the citizens of Hawaii in their efforts to create a better life and secure future for their children,'' Dobelle said. "Our obligation grows with the diminishment of fortunes of any particular population within our community.'' (AP)

LESSONS FROM ABROAD Policy Review November-December 1996, Number 80 Shalom for At-Risk Youth By Heidi Goldsmith Americans across the political spectrum are talking about the value of boarding schools for poor children from broken families and violent neighborhoods. They say we need more residential schools like Piney Woods Country Life School in Mississippi, Boys Town in Nebraska, and the Milton Hershey School, Girard College, and Scotland School for Veterans' Children in Pennsylvania. Despite their troubled families and neighborhoods, the vast majority of students from these schools graduate and go on to college, the military, or jobs. The major barriers to opening new residential schools are high costs and scarce funds. Annual per-student costs range from around $22,000 at Piney Woods, Girard, and the Job Corps, to $45,000 at others. The creators of a few residential charter schools on the drawing board anticipate annual costs of approximately $26,000 per student. Instead of "experts" with degrees in counseling, Israeli youth villages hire positive role models for troubled teens Israel's network of 70 children and youth villages offers a model for successful and modestly priced residential schools. Residential education is more widely available in Israel than anywhere else: About 7 percent of Israeli youth attend these schools, at a cost of $6,500 to $9,000 per year. Israel's system comprises child-centered communities for "normal" children who have troubled home environments. The message to the students is, "What your family cannot provide you, the community will."

60. Ariel The boarding schools put the Native Americans through so much pain Native Americans,Missionaries and schools. Lincoln, NE University of nebraska Press, 1975. http://thecollegeschool.org/classrooms/middleschool/Research Projects/ariel.htm

The Native American Boarding Schools Ariel For a long period of time, no one is really sure how long, millions of people lived on a piece of land which they knew it by the name of "Turtle Island," which later came to be known as North America. These native peoples, first mislabeled as Indians by an explorer named Christopher Columbus, divided themselves into many different tribes, each with its own government, language, traditions and religions. Europeans, who slowly poured into the Indian's land, did not respect the Indians beliefs, interrupted their peaceful life and would do almost anything to get the land to them selves. The settlers also believed the land that both the Indians and the settlers lived on was theirs to themselves. They began to push the Native Americans off of their own land. Many of them fought back to keep their homes, some succeeded, some didn't. By the 1800's most of the Native Americans signed a treaty with the European American government. The results left the Native Americans on small pieces of land called reservations in exchange for their land and peace. The European Americans promised that they would give the Indians living on the reservations food, water, money and education for the children. Most of these promises were not kept. White man's schooling of the Native Americans helped cause the disintegration of the beliefs, customs and ways of life of the natives residents of "Turtle Island". One of the sources that helped their culture vanish, not completely, were the Native American boarding schools. The boarding schools put the Native Americans through so much pain, suffering, and confusion, no one really thought of it like that, people were just trying to ruin the culture they themselves were afraid of. The Native American schools were created in an attempt to destroy the Native American way of life and their culture, beliefs and traditions.
