About This Item
Phoenix/Santa Fe: Heard Museum/Museum of New Mexico Press, 2000. Paperback. VG (Light edgewear to wraps; interior is clean; binding is solid.). Colorfully illustrated wraps with white, brown and peach lettering; 144 pp.; richly illustrated. Shares the stories of American Indians surviving the institutional life of boarding schools, describing Native Americans' faith, love for their heritage, resilience, and ability to learn from hard times, in a volume featuring numerous photographs and illustrations. -- Provided by publisher. From the 1870s to the present day, Indian children of all ages, from thousands of homes, from hundreds of diverse tribes and reservations, have entered federal boarding schools. Indian students' experiences at boarding schools have been as diverse as the students themselves. For some, the federal government's attempts to eradicate "Indianness" were unbearable; for some, tragically, they were successful. For others, time at a boarding school represented a chance to simply get an education, or to gain knowledge of other Native cultures and celebrate all that it means to be Indian. -- Provided by publisher.
