Abstract | This essay explores the common threads of the boarding school experiences of Native American children. These boarding schools and its students possessed unique qualities that were shaped by a multitude of conditions, including the cultures of the tribes represented, the location, the era, and the schools' directors--missionary, Indian nation, or United States government. Yet each of these institutions also symbolized an education that removed the students from their homes, their families, and their indigenous communities. This article may serve to connect the experiences of the thousands of Indian boarding school youth who found themselves thrust into an institutional culture that contrasted sharply with their own environment.
