	Indian boarding school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Indian boarding school is one of many schools that were established in the United States during the late 19th century and early 20th century to educate American Indian youths according to American standards.
		These schools which were primarily run by missionaries [1] proved traumatic to Indian children, who were forbidden to speak their native languages, taught Christianity instead of their native religions and in numerous other ways forced to abandon their Indian identity[2] and adopt European-American culture.
		There are also many documented cases of sexual, physical and mental abuses occurring at these schools [3].

		The goal of the Carlisle school and its founder, a U.S. Army officer named Richard Henry Pratt, was total assimilation of Native Americans into white culture, at the deliberate cost of their Indianness.
		Subscribing to the ideas of the "Indian reformers" of the time - many of whom were Quakers and Christian missionaries - Pratt believed the solution to the so-called "Indian problem" was not separation, which was the function of the reservations, but assimilation.
		Since the closing of the Carlisle Indian School, the descendants of its students and the descendants of the community into which they were to be assimilated have never come together to consciously honor he students' memory.

	Archaeology of the Phoenix Indian School
		Our investigations at the off-reservation boarding school in Phoenix have yielded subtle archaeological evidence that--along with early records of the school (including its newspaper), biographical accounts of employees and students, and historical records of school life--documents the students' reactions to this attempt to suppress their tribal traditions and identities.
		Wearing school clothing and marching uniforms was mandatory, and we found evidence of the use of clothing to impose conformity and military discipline on the students in the form of brass buttons from uniforms and glass buttons from shirts, dresses, and undergarments.
		The introduction of school clothing to pupils on their arrival was traumatic, as their traditional clothing, seen as a shell of savagery by the school officials, was literally cast off.

		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 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.
