Figure 1.--Here we see Coushatta children at a school in Elton, Louisiana during the 1930s (figure 1). The Coushatta were a tribe originally from Alabama. They have a reservation in Texas. I have no details about this school. I don't think it was a boarding school. Rather Louisiana had a racially segregated school system. Both of the schools were for white or black children. This apparently was a segregated school for Native American children. Souurce: Louisiana State Library |
We have found images of several Native American schools. Some of the scools are well known, such as the Carlisle Indian School. Other schools we have found no information. There were several different kinds of Native American schools. There were schools on the reservations, some of which were boarding schools. There were the off reservation boarding schools we are discussing on this page. And there were segregated public schoolss for Indians. Most of these schools were located in southern states. There were also regular public schools in which some Native American children may have attended.
The Carlisle Indian School was the vest known of the Ntive American boarding school. It was opened in an abandone Army post at Carlisle, Peensylvania (1878). I served a model for about 500 Native American boarding schools evebtually opened.
