The Mormons:
The exodus of the Mormon pioneers between 1847 and 1869 was an exciting time in American history. The saga began in 1830 in Fayette, N.Y., where Joseph Smith organized the Church of the "Latter Day Saints" called the Mormon Church. The church grew in membership but opposition also grew. The group relocated in Ohio, then Missouri and finally to Nauvoo, Ill. Mobs murdered Joseph Smith in 1844. In 1846, the Mormons left Nauvoo because of conflict and mistrust under the leadership of the new president, Brigham Young. They crossed the river and established winter quarters north of Omaha, Neb. The following spring, 143 men, three women and two children began their journey toward Salt Lake City, Utah, traveling in 75 wagons. In May 1847, an "odometer" was installed to count the revolutions of the wagon wheel to calculate mileage. The odometer could tally ten miles before starting over. This thousand-mile march is now known as the " Mormon Trail It was decided by some to locate in this area. Under the leadership of Henry and Sarah Hudson, founders of Genoa, a colony was set. The following is a description of Genoa from Henry Hudson's diary:

Boarding Schools
Beginning in the nineteenth century, boarding schools played a fundamental role in the programs designed by the U.S. government to foster the assimilation of native peoples into the mainstream of American society. Reformers and politicians who favored the policy of reservation allotment also advanced the concept of placing Indian children in residential schools where they would speak English, learn a vocation, and practice farming. Advocates of boarding schools argued that industrial training, in combination with several years of isolation from family, would diminish the influence of tribalism on a new generation of American Indians. For fifty years after the first federally administered residential school was established in 1879 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, thousands of Native American children and youth were sent to live, work, and be educated in the schools. Prior to Carlisle, most American Indians had little experience with the boarding-school concept. Some had attended mission schools, and three unique institutions had developed earlier in the century: the Choctaw Academy and the Cherokee Male and Female Seminaries. The Choctaw Academy in Kentucky, founded in 1825, was a male boarding school that Indian and white children attended. The academy was funded by proceeds from Choctaw land cessions in the Southeast during the 1820s. By 1851, the Cherokees in Oklahoma had opened male and female seminaries near Tahlequah to educate members of their nation. Cherokee students studied a curriculum that was patterned after that of Mount Holyoke Seminary in Massachusetts.

Murie, James R.
Pawnee ethnographer and author The Pawnee tribe experienced tremendous change during the lifetime of James Rolfe Murie (Saku:rú ta', "Coming Sun"). In 1857 the tribe ceded its traditional territory in Nebraska, but at Murie's birth in 1862 it had not yet moved to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), as stipulated in the land-sale treaty with the United States. James R. Murie's mother, Anna Murie, a full-blood Pawnee, raised her son in the traditional Pawnee manner as a member of the Skiri band. His father, James Murie, a Scottish-born army officer serving under Major Frank North, abandoned his wife and child in Nebraska shortly after his son's birth, moving west to California. Murie was a pupil at the day school at the Genoa Agency in his traditional homeland for four months. In 1874 he moved to Indian Territory with his mother and most of the tribe. He continued his education there, first at the day school and then at the boarding school at the Pawnee Agency. He mastered the English language while at these schools and became an interpreter for the local agent. In October 1879 Murie, then sixteen, decided to further his education and left for Virginia, where he enrolled in the Hampton Normal and Agriculture Institute. Murie's educational pursuits at Hampton included training in the printing trade and conversion to the Episcopal Church. After four years of training, Murie left Hampton with a diploma from the normal department. His experience at Hampton instilled in him the desire to return to his tribe to share his education. He was the first of his tribe to return to the Pawnee Nation as a graduate from an eastern school.

    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).

    Boarding Schools I By Leona-Marie N. Guthrie Boarding schools played a major role in the assimilation forced on Native Americans throughout history. Native children were taken away from their families and communities, which caused a destruction within families, a destruction within tribes and also added to the destruction of the Native community as a whole. While attending the boarding schools, the children were often forced to cut their hair (also an important aspect to most Native cultures), to dress and even to act as if they were part of the Western culture. Western religion was also forced onto the Native children creating more of a separation between the Native children and their traditional heritage and customs.

    Governor Carlson's $12 million bonding proposal to fund boarding schools got another hearing at the capitol February 11. The schools would serve "at risk" juveniles who have had no major criminal problems. The proposal for Minnesota may be modeled after the Milton-Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

    Thomas Hart Benton
    Thomas Hart Benton was born on April 15, 1889 in Neosho, Missouri. He spent most of his childhood in boarding schools and in Washington, D.C. and landed his first job as a cartoonist for the Joplin American in Missouri. Benton studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, resided briefly in Paris and New York City, then settled in Kansas City, working as an instructor of drawing/painting at the Kansas City Art Institute. His most famous pupil was the Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock; his well known Nebraska students at the Institute were Aaron Pyle and Bill Hammond. Benton was part of the Regionalist movement and is well known for his mural paintings that depict commmon everyday scenes of Midwestern life. The figures in his works often appear cartoon-like through the way he distorts the bone and muscular structure of their faces. His most famous murals are located in the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City and in the Truman Library in Independence. Benton died January 19, 1975 in his studio.

    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.

Muscogee Nation News 27, no. 1 (January 1998): 10. When Muscogee citizen Curtis Carr entered Chilocco Indian School as a nine-year-old boy in 1927, he probably never imagined that his own daughter would later write an award-winning history of the school. They Called It Prairie Light by K. Tsianina Lomawaima, a professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona. Her book was winner of the 1993 North American Indian Prose Award. Mvskoke authors have made a good impression on the judges for this important literary prize. Since the annual competition began in 1991, two of the seven recipients have been Muscogee citizens. Vincent Mendoza won the award in 1995 for his autobiography Son of Two Bloods (see the May 1997 issue of Muscogee Nation News Chilocco Indian School, located on Cherokee Outlet lands south of Arkansas City, Kansas, opened for students in 1884. It was one of the first off-reservation boarding schools established by the U. S. government, marking the beginning of a new era in the effort to break up tribal communities and assimilate Indian children to Anglo-American life. The allotment of tribal lands and Oklahoma statehood were just around the corner. Mvskokes and Yuchis began attending Chilocco after 1910 and for many years remained one of the largest tribal delegations at the school.
