Description
Examination of the social experiences and challenges faced by Native American children who had attended large public schools in the United States between 1945-75.
This study is the result of a questionnaire given to 8th and 12th grade Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students living in Montana who were from reserves or lived close to a reserve. It focused on the occupational, financial and educational goals. The questionnaire also asked about situations in which respondents would be willing to associate with members of the opposite race.
Discusses the Indian Helper, a newspaper published at the school, and the information it conveys in terms of the "civilizing campaign" and the children's responses.
