Devils Lake Missouri River Basin Missouri Riv GIS(BOMMM) Northwest Water Supply ... Devils Lake The History of the Devils Lake Basin A vast majority of the sites of historic significance in the Devils Lake Basin are connected to the period of white settlement, which in this region began in the early 1880s. The few historic sites dating prior to that time are concentrated in the immediate areas of Devils and Stump lakes and other watercourses. They pertain primarily to the fur trade era and to the establishment of the Devils Lake Indian Reservation and the military post at Fort Totten. Fur traders are known to have been operating in the Devils Lake Basin as early as 1800, although no specific sites linked to this era have yet been found. The first surge of white settlement began in 1882, spurred by the impending construction of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway (later the Great Northern and now part of the Burlington Northern) west from Larimore. A flurry of land squatting, claim jumping, and town site speculation ended the following year with the establishment of a railroad terminus at Devils Lake (formerly known as Creel City) and the murder of two young brothers accused of claim jumping. Nevertheless, excitement again accompanied the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad at the west end of the lake where the town of Minnewaukan was established in 1885. Despite the initial rush for land in the Basin, actual settlement moved slowly until the late 1890's. Few new railroads were being built, and most settlers were reluctant to locate too far from rail lines. Also hampering settlement was the fact that much of the land given as institutional land grants to the State of North Dakota by the Federal government was selected in the northern part of the Basin and was kept off the market until 1898.

ELWYN B. ROBINSON DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL COLLECTIONS CHESTER FRITZ LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA 58202 BRUFLAT ACADEMY, PORTLAND, NORTH DAKOTA RECORDS COLLECTION: OGL #131 DATES: SIZE: 1 item INTRODUCTION ACQUISITION: The Bruflat Academy, Portland, North Dakota Records were deposited in the Orin G. Libby Manuscript Collection as a gift from Theodore Gilbertson, 1968. ACCESS: Available for inspection under the rules and regulations of the Department of Special Collections. HISTORICAL SKETCH The Bruflat Congregation in Portland, North Dakota, constructed preliminary plans in 1888 for the construction of the Bruflat Academy and Business Institute. There was a parochial boarding school organized at Gran Congregation, close to Mayville, North Dakota, by Pastor Bjug Harstad around 1885. However, congregations farther west required a more convenient location. Members of the Bruflat Church decided upon the establishment of an expanded parochial school, and also an academy for those students who had already been confirmed, and to build a substantial building large enough to satisfy all needs. Mayville was suggested for the ideal location, but the logical and finalized location was the parochial school already functioning in Bruflat Church. Church members from Mayville, Bang, and Norman congregations organized themselves into the Norwegian Lutheran Congregation Stock Company and sold shares for the construction. 503 shares were sold, amounting to $5035, an adequate amount for building to begin. The final completed cost was around $7000. The first floor was to be for the parochial department and the second floor for the academy department. The third floor was mostly rooms for faculty members and girls. A dining room and kitchen were located in the basement.

66. American Indian Boarding School Experiences: Recent Studies From Native Perspect Indian cultural identity within the boarding school system, as a teacher at Eufala Creek Girls boarding School and the Wahpeton Indian School in north dakota. http://www.oah.org/pubs/magazine/deseg/davis.html

Table of Contents 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.

Painting "Big White" oil view larger image Statement 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. 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. I started working at the Circle of Nations School in 1997 as a cultural counselor and art instructor. Circle of Nations is a therapeutic American Indian residential boarding school. It seems ironic that I am working in the very type of institution that emotionally and spiritually crippled generations of Indian people. The mission has changed and now we foster and encourage our students to embrace their heritage. The people have been ravaged. The children are wounded. The scars are intergenerational. Art is healing.

Inspector Francis J. Dickens Main Page Time Line Photographs Your Input ... Order Form INSPECTOR F. J. DICKENS - of the NORTH WEST MOUNTED POLICE Here is a unique tale from Canada’s historic North West. It is a tale within a tale for Francis Jeffrey Dickens was the son of a very famous father, the renowned English author Charles Dickens. Dickens Senior wrote many stories but the short life of third son, Francis Jeffrey is an interesting, little known story of adventures. Francis Jeffrey was the fifth child out of ten as parented by Charles and his wife Catherine. He was born in London, England January 15, 1844. The previous Christmas had seen the great success of ‘A Christmas Carol’. As was his practice Charles while playing with his children, gave them nicknames and eventually Francis Jeffrey would be called ‘Chickenstalker’ which carried hints of another Christmas book ‘The Chimes’. The moneyed English tradition of sending children away to boarding school at an early age held true with Francis Jeffrey and he was sent to attend an English boys’ boarding school in Boulogne, France. Within a few years he was writing from another school in Hamburg, Germany where he was unsuccessful in studying pre-medical subjects. Upon return to London he was employed for a time with his father’s magazine. It was reported that Francis was a bit hard of hearing and had a stutter on occasion. In 1863 Francis went out to India to serve with the Bengal Police. Upon his father’s death in 1870 Francis Jeffrey returned to England. In October 1874 he obtained commission as a Sub-Inspector in the newly formed North West Mounted Police and sailed for Canada. He arrived too late to participate in what would become known as The March West of the NWMP during the summer of 1874. However he was posted to Fort Dufferin near the 49th parallel for the winter of 1874/75.

Search Our Site Who Are We? Our History Becoming a Sister Becoming an Associate Associate Program How Can I Help? Justice Issues Methods of Giving What's New? ... Return to Home Page Dakota Territory must have looked strange and daunting to young women raised in green and friendly Ireland. Yet Sisters of Mercy answered the call from bishops in the Dakotas to establish hospitals and teach Native American children. Mercy history in North Dakota reads like an adventure, its heroines braving long journeys, overwhelming poverty, and fierce opposition. Sisters of Mercy came from Omaha to Yankton, South Dakota, to open a school. They were soon deeply in debt and having serious disagreement with the bishop. After the bishop disbanded the community, two sisters made their way to Belcourt, North Dakota, where they built a boarding school for Ojibway children. Struggling with government policies, the sisters appealed to Katherine Drexel, who provided a school building and supplies. The school, however, was destroyed by fire in 1907. The sisters had already opened a hospital in Devils Lake; the community moved there from Belcourt. The Mercy community grew and attracted many young women who came from Ireland to spend the rest of their lives on the northern plains. Hospitals and schools flourished in Devils Lake, Williston, and Valley City. The hospitals stand today as modern health care facilities, to carry on the ministry of the Sisters of Mercy to the poor and sick.

He had been hospitalized for less than twenty-four hours with a blood disorder. Father Ray was born in Evansville Stone City and Revillo, while also serving in Milbank as chaplain at St. William’s Nursing Home and the hospital. For two years, Father Ray was our Vocation Director. He liked working with youth and was involved with the Teens Encounter Christ program here and in North Dakota. He made friends easily, and he had lots of friends to whom he remained faithful. The monks were often surprised by how many people knew Father Ray. His death came as a terrible shock to all of us. What he had presumed was a touch of the flu, proved to be something more fatal. Father Ray, like several other members of our community, died early—in the manner of our reckoning. Yet his leaving us now is a reminder once again that St. Benedict himself suggests we not look at death distantly but daily. We ask the members of the Swiss-American Congregation and all other Benedictines to remember Father Raymond in their prayers for the deceased. His funeral and burial were on November 25, 2003. May he rest in peace.

FAQs Jakarta Missing by Jane Kurtz Is Dakar supposed to be you? Answer from Jane: In some ways yes; in other ways, no. I admit that I was a worry wart in fact, I used some of the exact things my sisters have said to me and I gave them to Jakarta to say to Dakar. Dakar's memories of Maji, in particular, are my exact memories of Maji. But Dakar is also fictional. Her chance to try out life in the U.S. comes in North Dakota, where mine first came in Boise, Idaho. She is living in the present time, when my first tastes of life in the United States happened in the 1950's. She is also homesick for Kenya, a place that I never visited as a child (much less lived), although my parents and younger siblings did. How did Kenya end up in Jakarta Missing Answer: Jane's older sister Caroline (upon whom she loosely modeled the character, Jakarta) lived in Kenya for six years, and Jane visited her there twice, speaking in the international school and at Rosslyn Academy. Jane's daughter, Rebekah, also lived in Kenya for one semester and went to Rosslyn Academy. When I visited in 1999, Carolinge (my older sister), Jan (my youngest sister, and I went hiking in an eerie and wonderful gorge.
