| Summary |
A photograph of Cherokee children at one of the many schools that were established in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to educate Native American children according to Euro-American standards. First established by Christian missionaries, children attending the schools were encouraged or sometimes forced to abandon their native cultures, banned from using their native language, had their hair cut and were forced to wear uniforms. By the 1970s, there were an estimated 60,000 Native American children in this type of school.ℓ |
