Shownotes

The United States’ boarding school program was designed to strip Native children of their culture by isolating them from their families and placing them into militant style, religious boarding schools. Our second and third episodes discuss two schools in particular, the Puyallup Indian School, located on Squaxin Island, and the Cushman Indian School, located in Tacoma.

This is part 1 of a 2-part episode.

Panelists include:

  • Amber Taylor, Assistant Director/Collections Manager, Puyallup Tribe
  • Brandon Reynon, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Puyallup Tribe
  • Charlene Krise, Executive Director of the Squaxin Island Tribe Museum Library Research Center
  • Nettsie Bullchild, Director of Nisqually Tribal Archives/Nisqually Tribal Historic Preservation Office
  • Warren KingGeorge, Historian, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
