Native American Boarding School Timeline

The Native American Boarding School Timeline Project was initiated in the fall of 2021 to develop and share information with Tribal officials concerning the two Native American boarding schools that operated between 1887 and 1909 on what is now the campus site. Efforts were made to provide documentation of the schools' general history, names of students, tribal affiliation, and health and living conditions. The project produced a detailed timeline with links to documents from local newspapers, Catholic organizations, local government and the National Archives. Although materials have been presented to Tribal authorities, the collection efforts are ongoing.
