Extractions: Undoing the Shameful Legacy Boarding School History Pratt was an Army Captain, not an educator. He had been put in charge of 72 Apache prisoners held at Ft. Marion near St. Augustine, Florida. The Army said that prisoners were suspected of having murdered white settlers, but never proved this claim. Captain Pratt started a prison school for the men in his charge. When the Ft. Marion prisoners were allowed to return home in 1878, he convinced 22 of them to continue their schooling. The Hampton Institute, a school for freed slaves in Virginia, accepted several of them. Carlisles opening allowed Pratt to resign his Army commission and to practice his ideas about educating Indians. Pratts goal was to "kill the Indian, not the man." In order to assimilate American Indian children into European culture, Pratt subjected them to what we would call brainwashing tactics today. These are the same methods that cult leaders use to coerce recruits to commit completely to a new way of thinking. Boarding School Brainwashing Techniques Many boarding schools were established far away from reservations so that students would have no contact with their families and friends. Parents were discouraged from visiting and, in most cases, students were not allowed to go home during the summer.

Extractions: (Photo courtesy of Fort Lewis College Center of Southwest Studies) The Colorado State Archives volunteer, Connie Ryan, has extracted names from the Fort Lewis and Grand Junction Indian Industrial Schools 1900 Federal Census. These enumerations were slightly different from the usual 1900 Census entries or the Federal Indian Census as there was a special section, "Special Inquiries Relating to Indians." The main section included the headings found on the 1900 Federal Census. In addition, however, this special section listed the tribe of the Indian as well as the tribe of his/her father and mother. There is also a heading entitled "Mixed Blood" which asked if the Indian had any white blood and how much. In the Grand Junction index several additional headings are usually filled out including, "Conjugal Condition," "Citizenship" and "Dwelling" ("Is this Indian living in a fixed or in a movable dwelling?"). The information found in these indexes is especially helpful since the Federal Indian Census before 1930 provided only information on the person's name, date of birth, gender, and relationship to the head of the family. After 1930 the Census provided information on the individual's degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and also included miscellaneous commentary. For a further explanation of the Federal Census and the Indian Census from 1885-1944, please see
INDIAN SCHOOLS - INTRODUCTION Another Indian boarding school, which is still in use today, is the Theodore Roosevelt School in northeastern arizona. On January http://members.aol.com/tawodi/carlisle/intro.html
Extractions: The Education of Native Americans Mary Crow Dog, author of LAKOTA WOMAN , tells of BIA agents barging into the homes of the Sioux Indians and dragging children away from their families in order to assimilate them into "white society." She described the taking of those children to the boarding schools as "kidnapping." At the boarding schools, the children were forced to cut their hair, kept away from their families, sometimes were told their families were dead or didn t want them anymore and often abused both mentally and physically. In her book, she describes the schools as, "sterile, cold atmosphere, an unfamiliar routine, language problems, and above all the maza-skan-skan, that damn clock white man's time as opposed to Indian time, which is natural time." (p. 29). One of the saddest chapters in Native American history has to be these children who were forcibly removed from their homes and families to attend boarding schools. Many times, Indian children died at these schools - from diseases they had no natural immunity to, from homesickness and other factors. There are hundreds of graves, over 250 at Carlisle alone, of these children who suffered and died alone and lonely, far from all that was familiar to them, remembered only by those friends and family who mourned their loss. The children who survived the training were no better off - and in some cases worse off - than those who escaped the forced schooling. They often found themselves unwelcome in white society in spite of their painful acculterization process, and sometimes returned to their tribes to find they were no longer accepted there either.

Extractions: establishment of the Phoenix Indian School in 1891 The Phoenix Indian School was part of the Federal government's policy of forced assimilation in which Indian children were to be transformed into Americans along Anglo-Saxon lines. Left, the school's band at Navajo Bridge, ca. 1930. (Courtesy Bureau of Indian Affairs) Once Native Americans were confined to reservations in the 1880s, the federal government embarked on a plan to bring about their disappearancenot by military means, but by assimilating their children through education. Our investigations at the off-reservation boarding school in Phoenix have yielded subtle archaeological evidence thatalong with early records of the school (including its newspaper), biographical accounts of employees and students, and historical records of school lifedocuments the students' reactions to this attempt to suppress their tribal traditions and identities. The evidence suggests that the need to get along with Indians of different tribes as well as non-Indians, the knowledge that the federal government treated them unlike other people, and the alienation some felt when they returned home fostered a new, pan-Indian identity. As the government built more reservation schools, the value of Phoenix Indian School land became greater than the benefits of running the school. An act of Congress, signed by President Reagan in November 1988, closed the school and passed its administration from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the National Park Service. Part of the school's property was transfered to Barron-Collier Companies, a Florida land developer, in return for 108,000 acres of land it owned, which was added to Big Cypress National Preserve and Panther National Wildlife Reserve in Florida. Barron-Collier also established a $35 million trust fund for the education of Indian children in Arizona.

Extractions: Native Americans A special trust relationship exists between federally-recognized Indian Tribes and the U.S. Government. This relationship originated with the Constitution and has been upheld and reinforced by numerous federal treaties, statutes, and court decisions over the years. Adherence to the obligations imposed by the trust relationship means that the federal government must always act to defend the rights and resources of Native Americans, protect their culture, provide necessary health and educational services, and assist in their economic development. The following are examples of some of the legislation and programs that I've fought for in furtherance of the federal government's trust obligations to Tribes in Arizona. At the beginning of 2003, I reintroduced legislation that would settle the Zuni Tribe's water-rights claims in Arizona. The Senate and the House of Representatives passed that bill, and it became law in June of 2003. The Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act not only settles the Zuni's water-rights claims in the state, it provides $19.25 million to acquire water rights and restore a wetland environment on the Zunis' religious lands.
