American Indian boarding schools were boarding schools established in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to educate Native American children and youths according to Euro-American standards. They were first established by Christian missionaries of various denominations, who often started schools on reservations and founded boarding schools to provide opportunities for children who did not have schools nearby, especially in the lightly populated areas of the West. The government paid religious societies to provide education to Native American children on reservations. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.
Children were usually immersed in European-American culture through appearance changes with haircuts, were forbidden to speak their native languages, and traditional names were replaced by new European-American names (to both "civilize" and "Christianize"). The experience of the schools was often harsh, especially for the younger children who were separated from their families. In numerous ways, they were encouraged or forced to abandon their Native American identities and cultures. The number of Native American children in the boarding schools reached a peak in the 1970s, with an estimated enrollment of 60,000 in 1973. Investigations of the later twentieth century have revealed many documented cases of sexual, manual, physical and mental abuse occurring at such schools.
A boarding school is a school in which most or all of the students live during the part of the year that they go to lessons. The word 'boarding' is used in the sense of "bed and board," i.e., lodging and meals. Some boarding schools also have day students who attend the institution by day and return off-campus to their families in the evenings.
Many independent (private) schools are boarding schools. Boarding school pupils (a.k.a. "boarders") normally return home during the school holidays and often weekends, but in some cultures may spend the majority of their childhood and adolescent life away from their families. In the United States, boarding schools comprise various grades, most commonly grades seven or nine through grade twelve—the high school years. Other schools are for younger children, grades two through eight. A military school, or military academy, also features military education and training. Some American boarding schools offer a post-graduate year of study to help students prepare for college entrance, most commonly to assimilate foreign students to American culture and academics before college.

Toward the end of the 19th century, the US took thousands of Native American children and enrolled them in off-reservation boarding schools, stripping them of their cultures and languages. Yet decades later as the US phased out the schools, following years of indigenous activism, it found a new way to assimilate Native American children: promoting their adoption into white families. Watch the episode to find out how these two distinct eras in US history have had lasting impacts on Native American families.

Far from home: Indian boarding school prepares for life (Learning World: S5E04, 2/3)
13-year-old Karen Madan is attending a boys' boarding school in Shimla, India, and tells us about his daily routine at school. He is convinced that the school will prepare him well for the challenges of the future, not just academically. As the headmaster, Roy C. Robinson puts it: "You are going to bump into other students, that you might not like, but you got to get along with. In a small way, that really prepares you for the larger society that you are going to interact with once you leave school."

American Indian boarding schools were boarding schools established in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to educate Native American children and youths according to Euro-American standards. They were first established by Christian missionaries of various denominations, who often started schools on reservations and founded boarding schools to provide opportunities for children who did not have schools nearby, especially in the lightly populated areas of the West. The government paid religious societies to provide education to Native American children on reservations. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.
Children were usually immersed in European-American culture through appearance changes with haircuts, were forbidden to speak their native languages, and traditional names were replaced by new European-American names (to both "civilize" and "Christianize"). The experience of the schools was often harsh, especially for the younger children who were separated from their families. In numerous ways, they were encouraged or forced to abandon their Native American identities and cultures. The number of Native American children in the boarding schools reached a peak in the 1970s, with an estimated enrollment of 60,000 in 1973. Investigations of the later twentieth century have revealed many documented cases of sexual, manual, physical and mental abuse occurring at such schools.
Brave these things that your culture may survive. A connection to land they could not understand so they came to remove them. And their parents would cry and be left asking why but the soldiers ignored them. Then they took them away from the place they belonged to and removed any trace of their faith and their culture. Any trace of the place they belonged to... Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare. They fell from the sky To this land where they died And the spirits moved through them. Till their language was gone along with their songs Seemed God no longer knew them. Would a native race find a place in the future? Would a painted face hide the pain of no culture? Any trace of the place they belonged to... Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare. We set the controls of our souls and head out for the sun The day is long right now but soon winter will come What's 30 miles from death could be a million miles from home We can die among the trees, or live here all alone. Memories Any trace of the place they belonged to... Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare.
Researchers are digitizing historical records from a Native American boarding school in Bismarck, aiming to bring information closer to the communities affected by its existence ...The BismarckIndianSchool operated from 1907 to 1937.
