Building Knowledge Together: Let's make sure we're all on the same page!

Today, you will be studying the Indian Industrial School, which was one of the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ leading Native American schools and the first off-reservation boarding school operated by the federal government.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs went on to open more than two dozen more off-reservation boarding schools, and churches operated over on-reservation schools with government funding. These schools were part of a long series of federal government policies, such as the Indian Removal Act and the Indian Wars, that attempted to remove Native Americans from their lands.

The origins of boarding schools can be traced back to the Indian Civilization Fund Act of 1819, which authorized up to $10,000/year for religious groups and interested individuals to live among and “re-educate” Native Americans. This policy was one of many laws including the reservation system and the Indian Boarding School system, which were all expressly intended to implement cultural through the removal and reprogramming of American Indian and Alaska Native children to accomplish the systematic destruction of Native cultures and communities.
