144 pages, 4 unnumbered pages : 28 cm, 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, Includes bibliographical references (pages 136-138) and index, Foreword / Frank H.
