Extractions: 503/373-0701 x 239 State Archives Exhibit Recounts Indian Boarding School Experience Salem The Oregon State Archives, located at 800 Summer Street NE in Salem, will host the exhibit "They Sacrificed for Our Survival: The Indian Boarding School Experience," from April 14 to May 8, 2000. "I am pleased that the State Archives will display information about this important, yet often unmentioned, chapter in Oregon history," said Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, whose agency includes the State Archives. "It is not a chapter we can be proud of, but one which we should not forget." Federal Indian policy makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s sought to use the schoolhouse specifically the boarding school as an instrument for acculturating Indian youth to "American" ways of thinking and living. Only by removing Indian children from their homes for extended periods of time, policy makers reasoned, could white "civilization" take root while childhood memories of "savagism" gradually faded to the point of extinction. The attempted eradication of Indian cultures is still a source of pain for many American Indians. This exhibit introduces a subject little known outside American Indian communities. The exhibit includes stories of Indian boarding school survivors told in the oral tradition of their ancestors and through historical photographs and student artwork dating from the late 1800s through the 1950s. The photographs illustrate several of the large, off-reservation federal schools Carlisle in Pennsylvania, Chilocco in Oklahoma, and Chemawa in Oregon as well as mission schools in Washington and Idaho. Exhibit materials are part of the Estelle Reel Collection at Cheney Cowles Museum in Spokane, Washington.

Extractions: PRIMARY SOURCES In an effort to compile as complete a listing possible for students who were enrolled at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Barbara Landis and Genevieve Bell are collaborating in their research work. Bell spent nine months at the National Archives (NARA) developing a database of the student folders in Record Group 75, File 1327. Landis has taken the names found in the weekly/monthly publications, photograph albums, and census records, and refined them for inclusion with Bell's NARA list. The list is organized by nation. Learning finger songs at Carlisle Indian School ca 1900 Landis and Bell recommend the following sources for those interested in learning more about the Carlisle Indian School, the dozens of off-reservation boarding schools modeled after Carlisle, and the assimilationist movement of the late-19th / early 20th Centuries. Comments are the opinions of Landis and/or Bell. CARLISE INDIAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES What follows is a list of the newspapers published by the United States Indian School, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. These primary sources are highly propagandistic. They were written by Indian School students as part of their Printing Training, under the heavy editorial eye of the school administrators, especially the founding father, Richard Henry Pratt, whose tenure at Carlisle covered the period from 1879 until his dismissal in 1904. Each issue of the monthly magazines espoused some philosophical article pertaining to the merits of assimilation and/or allotment. The weeklies typically held news items for events at the school and of students who participated. Also included in these was news of former students chronicling their lives as reported in their letters back to "dear old Carlisle." As you will see below, the names of these papers changed frequently and tracking this is somewhat confusing:

Extractions: Showcase Home How To Advertise FAQ Testimonials ... Travel / Property Private Schools Showcase In Newsweek There are approximately 27,000 private schools in the United States, and roughly 2,000 of them comprise a subset of the community known as independent schools. Independent schools can be coeducational or single-sex institutions; they can also be boarding, day, or combination day and boarding schools. There are independent schools located in urban, suburban, and rural communities. As non-profit organizations governed by boards of trustees, independent schools have unique mission statements and philosophies that shape the ways they operate. Some of the advantages of independent schools that parents often cite are...... Individualized attention for students The intimate learning environments at independent schools allow teachers to connect with students and fully understand how each individual learns. This helps teachers tailor their teaching approaches and actively engage students. The close-knit community of caring educators at independent schools shapes the academic development of students AND their overall personal development. High-quality and committed teachers

Boarding schools across the United States, representing the East, Midwest, Western states and California have annually numbered between 90 to 100 participants. In addition, many Canadian schools and even some from Western Europe have presented at the fair. The large number of schools attending the Fair guarantees the presentation of a variety of curricula for all inquiring students. This list will be updated each September and will be sent with the invitations to Bay Area schools. The number of families visiting the Fair has consistently been in the 200+ range.

Extractions: A little while ago, I was supposed to attend a Halloween party. I decided to dress as a nun because nuns were the scariest things I ever saw, says Willetta Dolphus, 54, a Cheyenne River Lakota. The source of her fear, still vivid decades later, was her childhood experience at American Indian boarding schools in South Dakota. Dolphus is one of more than 100,000 Native Americans forced by the U.S. government to attend Christian schools. The system, which began with President Ulysses Grants 1869 Peace Policy, continued well into the 20th century. Church officials, missionaries, and local authorities took children as young as five from their parents and shipped them off to Christian boarding schools; they forced others to enroll in Christian day schools on reservations. Those sent to boarding school were separated from their families for most of the year, sometimes without a single family visit. Parents caught trying to hide their children lost food rations. Virtually imprisoned in the schools, children experienced a devastating litany of abuses, from forced assimilation and grueling labor to widespread sexual and physical abuse. Scholars and activists have only begun to analyze what Joseph Gone (Gros Ventre), a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, calls the cumulative effects of these historical experiences across gender and generation upon tribal communities today.

Extractions: German pupils are taking places in increasing numbers at public schools in the United Kingdom. There are an estimated 1,600 German pupils in sixth forms of fee-paying schools, many coming to this country to improve their English language skills. Around 100 fee-paying schools are taking part in a recruitment scheme with a German-based educational consultancy, with representatives from UK schools visiting Germany to talk to parents about what a boarding school education can offer. While there has been an increase in the numbers of overseas pupils attending UK boarding schools and an increase in "occasional" boarding, the overall pupil numbers have been in long-term decline. Recruitment drives Boarding school numbers have gone down from almost 126,000 in 1985 to less than 82,000 by 1999, as fewer parents in the UK have sent their children to study away from home. Last year, independent schools sent representatives to Washington, in an attempt to encourage recruitment from pupils in the United States.

Extractions: Independent boarding schools are to try to recruit more pupils from the United States. The international arm of the Independent Schools Information Service (Isis) believes the American market is yet to be tapped, with many families unaware of what schooling is available in the UK. Representatives from 14 boarding schools in England will travel to Washington DC later this month to show off their wares at a conference of the Association of Boarding Schools. Paul High, Isis International Liz Pangu, a consultant for Isis International, said many Americans have an outdated view of British schools. "They tend to think of cold showers and early morning runs," she said. "But we think studying in our schools can offer an excellent cultural experience - even if it's just for a year or two." She admitted it would be difficult to gauge the success of the trip, but said "the time was right to tell the American public there was an alternative".

Extractions: By Carla Rivera An apartment complex in Montclair housed students at the military- style academy, which is accused of abuse. Police in Montclair removed more than two dozen youths from a private military-style boarding school Tuesday, after a former employee and several former residents accused operators of administering abusive punishment. In an early morning raid, 26 youths were taken from an apartment complex used as a residence by the Ministerial Christian Academy. Investigators with search warrants confiscated handcuffs, shackles, computers, financial records and other documents, police said. Ricky Leslie, 39, of Montclair, described by police as a caretaker at the residence, was arrested on suspicion of rape with a foreign object and sexual battery of a female student. Police said Leslie is a registered sex offender. Police were led to the two-story apartment complex on a quiet street by accusations that youngsters had been restrained in handcuffs, left for hours in cramped, darkened storage rooms and forced into a cold swimming pool as punishments.

Sioux Allege Abuse At Church Boarding Schools Sioux allege abuse at church boarding schools. washington Post/June 2, 2003 By Sharon Waxman. Rosebud Reservation, SD The day the Rev. http://www.rickross.com/reference/clergy/clergy164.html
Extractions: By Sharon Waxman Rosebud Reservation, S.D. The day the Rev. Kenneth Walleman came to the front door, Lloyd "Sonny" One Star went to get his gun. "I couldn't keep my composure. I kept shaking," said One Star, 46, a leader of the Sioux tribe on this reservation. "I was going to kill him." Walleman was a former administrator at St. Francis Mission, the Jesuit boarding school One Star had attended through his youth - a priest, One Star says now, who sexually abused him for years. Walleman fled before he could state his business that day a few years ago, but he might yet face the wrath of Sonny One Star - and that of other former students. After years of holding their silence, hundreds of American Indians are giving accounts of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of the priests and nuns who ran a dozen missionary boarding schools across South Dakota through most of the 20th century. Allegations of priestly sexual abuse in parishes have rocked the Catholic Church over the past year. But what the former students say occurred at the reservation schools into the 1970s was more systemic: They say physical abuse was a routine part of school discipline; that sexual abuse was commonplace; and that both forms of abuse were committed against children in the round-the-clock, unsupervised care of school staff members. Some former students have filed a $25 billion class action lawsuit in Washington against the federal government, which paid the church to house, feed and educate American Indian children. Since the lawsuit was filed in April, their attorneys said, the number of plaintiffs has expanded to include hundreds.

The Electras would have remained a vague memory for a few dozen debutantes and the group's seven musicians but guess who put the bomp in their bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp? None other than John Kerry, future senator and current Democratic presidential hopeful. Before he took off for Yale and then Vietnam and then a career in politics, Kerry flailed away at a bass guitar with a few schoolmates, playing primitive instrumental covers in the tradition of surf bands like the Ventures and dawn-of-rock stars like Eddie Cochran. "We made a lot of noise," Kerry said yesterday before a campaign stop in Fargo, N.D., where he took a few minutes to reminisce by phone about his band. "It was a very good time."

Chop Point accepts International and U.S. students. Both a five-day and a seven-day a week program is offered to students for the academic year. Resident students do their own laundry and help a few hours a week in the cleaning of the home and the general maintenance of the property. We encourage good conduct through building genuine and warm relationships between staff and students. There is no value more important and basic to a happy and productive life than honesty. We will work patiently and kindly with those young people who break any of the few Chop Point policies if that student is sincere about putting things right. Depending on availability and preference, students live with families in boarding facilities on the property or nearby. Full-time boarding students (7-days a week) are involved in planning weekend social activities. Activities may include trips to Quebec City, New York City, the beaches of North Carolina, Washington D.C., Cape Cod, the White Mountains, and the Moosehead Lake region for ice fishing.
