Extractions: Preserving the Past The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program Has Much To Share http://web.history.ufl.edu/oral/ To give our readers a better idea of what's available at the Center, over the next few months CLAS notes will feature a series of short excerpts from Oral History transcripts. Similarly, in 1999, to celebrate Florida's bicentennial, all New York Times-owned Florida newspapers (including the Gainesville Sun) will feature bi-weekly excerpts from Center holdings. Interviewer: Tom King Date: October 1, 1972 Cypress was born in 1943 on the Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41). After attending public schools in south Florida, he graduated from Stetson University and later completed graduate work at Arizona State University. He served in the US Army and taught public school for several years. At the time of this interview, he had just begun working for BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) coordinating the Seminole boarding school program. Since that time, he has held a number of positions with the Seminole tribe and currently serves as executive director of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum located on the Big Cypress reservation. On Seminoles and education: After the wars [Seminole Wars, final war ended in 1858] Seminoles...kept to themselves. They had their own way of life and education. This was fine for the...why should they go out into a foreign country and be trained or go to school? That was their school for their culture; we have our own school for our culture, too. So white man's school was taboo, and there were tribal punishments for people. In fact right here in Hollywood, Dania Reservation, the first people who went to school were very ostracized and ridiculed.
Extractions: 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.
