This talk will examine the thinking behind the creation of federal schools for youth including Haskell Indian Nations University, originally known as the United States Indian Industrial Training School, and how this system affected Native communities in the short and long term. The American Indian story is one of cultural survival, but what are the next steps for reckoning with this difficult and painful part of our national history?
This program is presented by Eric P. Anderson, professor of history at Haskell Indian Nations University.
This program is made possible thanks to the Humanities Kansas Speakers Bureau.
