    Extractions: 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).

    Extractions: Boarding Schools I By Leona-Marie N. Guthrie Boarding schools played a major role in the assimilation forced on Native Americans throughout history. Native children were taken away from their families and communities, which caused a destruction within families, a destruction within tribes and also added to the destruction of the Native community as a whole. While attending the boarding schools, the children were often forced to cut their hair (also an important aspect to most Native cultures), to dress and even to act as if they were part of the Western culture. Western religion was also forced onto the Native children creating more of a separation between the Native children and their traditional heritage and customs.

    Extractions: Thomas Hart Benton was born on April 15, 1889 in Neosho, Missouri. He spent most of his childhood in boarding schools and in Washington, D.C. and landed his first job as a cartoonist for the Joplin American in Missouri. Benton studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, resided briefly in Paris and New York City, then settled in Kansas City, working as an instructor of drawing/painting at the Kansas City Art Institute. His most famous pupil was the Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock; his well known Nebraska students at the Institute were Aaron Pyle and Bill Hammond. Benton was part of the Regionalist movement and is well known for his mural paintings that depict commmon everyday scenes of Midwestern life. The figures in his works often appear cartoon-like through the way he distorts the bone and muscular structure of their faces. His most famous murals are located in the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City and in the Truman Library in Independence. Benton died January 19, 1975 in his studio.

    Extractions: Tools of Forced Assimilation, 1870 to 1934 As a savage, we cannot tolerate him any more than as a half-civilized parasite, wanderer or vagabond. The only alternative left is to fit him by education for civilized life. The Indian, though a simple child of nature with mental facilities dwarfed and shriveled, while groping his way for generations in the darkness of barbarism, already sees the importance of education... Board of Indian Commissioners, 1880. (As quoted in Prucha, 1978:194.) Beginning in the 1870s, many Indian reform organizations sincerely believed that the "time had come for the sword to give way to the spelling book." (Trennert, 1988:3.) Flush with the success of many military victories over Indian Peoples, such reformers were committed to creating a new system of Indian education - the Indian boarding school - which would bring "the gift of civilization"to "savages" who resolutely clung to their cultural and religious traditions. The Indian boarding school was another in a long line of attempts by Euro-Americans to"civilize" and indoctrinate American Indian children. This paper will explore this historical dedication to Americanizing Indian people through the use of education by

    Extractions: in Nance County Rural Sites Burkett Archeological Site [25-NC-01] Situated on a prominent natural terrace near the Loup River valley near Genoa, the Burkett Site comprises numerous earthlodge ruins covering an area of over 100 acres. 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] 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] 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.

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.
