Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians 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.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians 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.

Pratt Founder of Carlisle Indian School “We can end their existence among us as such separate people by a broad and generous system of English education and training, which will reach all the 50,000 children and in a few years remove all our trouble from them as a separate people and as separate tribes among us, and instead of feeding, clothing and caring for them from year to year, put them in condition to feed clothe and care for themselves. Our experiences in many individual cases in the last few years make it evident that not only may we fit him to go and come and abide in the land where ever he may choose, and so lose his identity” Origin and History of work at Carlisle.[ The American missionary./ Volume 37, Issue 4, April 1883]

He also believed that whites as well as Indians would benefit from this new information. There was some hesitancy, but suddenly a loud clear voice close to me broke into a Victory song; before a bar was sung another voice took up the song from the beginning, as is the custom among the Indians, then the whole school fell in, and we made the room ring. We understood the song, and knew the emotion of which it was the expression. We felt, as we sang, the patriotic thrill of a victorious people who had vanquished their enemies. Notes 1.

Home About Us Mission History ... Virtual Tour Jan 27, 2003 - Lincoln Journal-Star Boys Catholic boarding school lets students focus on academics, lofty goals ELKHORN - Like others their age, the young men of Mount Michael Benedictine School's senior class are trying to decide where they'll go to college. They're in limbo like everyone else, having heard back from a few schools, such as Creighton University and Carleton College, but waiting on letters from Northwestern, Stanford and Georgetown. But even though the destination is up in the air, there's something noticeably missing from their college search experience: fear. Leaving home? Been there. Living in dorms? Done that. Studied hard every night? No problem. These teens expect to be a step ahead of their freshman classmates come September. Mount Michael, in rural Elkhorn west of Omaha, is the state's only Catholic boarding school, although there are other Christian- based boarding schools and several Catholic day schools. The school, where several students from Lincoln spend their weeks, is a Midwestern version of an East Coast boarding school, and students relate more to movies like "Dead Poets Society" than "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or "The Breakfast Club."

Bleachers, which had been filled with Mount Michael students, empty. The boys push through a set of double doors and scramble to their dorms for a 90-minute mandatory study hall at the all-male Catholic boarding school in rural Elkhorn. Schools sometimes say they fail to produce better students and citizens because they have young people only seven hours a day. Or schools say it is the parents' fault if students fail to do homework, get enough sleep or stay out of trouble after school. Mount Michael can't say that.

The site is attributed to the Lower Loup Phase, protohistoric ancestors of the historic Pawnee. The village is believed to have been occupied by the Skidi band of the Pawnee during the early seventeenth century. Fifteen lodge sites and five trash heaps, or middens, were excavated, yielding an enormous artifact collection including over 20,000 pieces of pottery. Horse Creek Pawnee Village [25-NC-02] Listed 1974/07/12 The Horse Creek Pawnee village, lcoated in the Fullerton vicinity, was originally constructed by the Grand and Republican bands in 1809, who then occupied it until about 1820 when the Republican band left. Shortly afterwards the Grand Pawnee moved elsewhere, probably to the Clarks Site, and the Republican band reestablished residence at Horse Creek with the Tappage band. The site was finally abandoned in 1842. The village reached maximum size in the early 1820s when it was reported to consist of 180 earthlodges accommodating 900 families with a total population of over 3,500. Wright Site [25-NC-03] Listed 1973/08/14 Sometime between A.D. 1600 and 1750 the ancestors of the Skidi Pawnee occupied this immense village on a prominent terrace overlooking Beaver Creek and the Loup River near present-day Genoa. Archeological research at the site included excavation of ten earthlodge ruins. Over fifty human skeletons were discovered on the floor of one lodge, apparently the victims of a massacre.

Military curricula are even taking hold in some public schools. In Detroit, the Charles Rogers Academy, named for a black army general, offers much the same program as a military prep school. Students of each year have different ranks, discipline is tight, and standards are high. About half the seniors attend collegean extremely impressive rate for an inner-city school. By shifting their focus from training future soldiers to preparing civic leaders, military boarding schools have made a comeback although their ranks have thinned since WWII. Of course, military boarding schools can seem more like another planet to the average teen. At Massanutten, a military boarding school, reveille is at 6 o'clock every weekday morning. Cadets are required to attend formation 45 minutes later dressed in full uniform, complete with polished boots. There, members of Alpha Company that's all the girls are scrutinized for signs of excessive grooming. Sparkle nail polish and heavy makeup are banned. Hair must be tied neatly into military buns or cut above the collar.

Effective alternatives include private schools whose focus is a military style of discipline and education. Military schools provide cadets with the traditional college prep curriculum found in public schools, but the quality of teaching often exceeds that found in public school. Since most military schools are also a boarding school, many times the teachers are fully dedicated to the students and can offer extra academic assistance. In addition to a quality education, cadets can expect to have organized daily study time to ensure they complete their assignments and keep from falling behind.

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).

This institution, the nucleus of what may prove the central luminary of a large literary circle, first became established, in February, 1878, by the Red Ribbon Temperance Club. The enterprise made little advancement under the management by the club, and was on the verge of becoming extinct. In March, 1879, chiefly through the personal efforts of Dr. H. Durham, a city organization was effected under the legislative act provided in such cases. The library was placed under the charge of six trustees, appointed by the City Council, and having a president, secretary, treasurer and librarian.
