Pro Starla receiving award from Doctor Stevenson for Most Outstanding Graduate in Law Enforcement at Western Oregon University, class of 2000 Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience Phoenix, Ariz. A groundbreaking exhibition exploring the deep and lasting impact of board ing schools on Native Americans opened at the Heard Museum on No vember 18, 2000. "The boarding school experi ence is crucial to understanding Na tive America today," says Margaret Archuleta, PuebloHispanic, curator of fine art for the Heard Museum and Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experi ence. 'This exhibit allows visitors -both Native and non-Native - the opportunity to understand the collec tive history of Indian boarding schools, and to understand how that history has influenced contemporary Native American life.". Remembering Our Indian School Days is unique because it is the first exhibition to explore the role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) with relation to education. A multi sensory experience that incorporates voices, music, tactile elements and visual images along with textual in formation, the exhibit engages visi tors by presenting the common expe rience of education in the uncommon setting of the boarding school and blurs the distinction between Indian and non-Indian. Remembering Our Indian School Days celebrates the spirit of survival. Originally established to "civilize" Native Americans into mainstream society, Indian boarding schools became a shaping force of a national Native American identity. "This is not just a part of Na tive American history; it is an impor tant element of American history in its entirety," Archuleta says. "Indian or not, this exhibit is an important examination of our society both past and present." 1879 to the 1990s Federally run Indian boarding schools became a key element of the widespread na tional effort to "Americanize" Native Americans beginning in the late 19th Scholarships gram y.

OR 97204 (503) 326-20156499 century. The BIA's first official boarding school, Carlisle Indian School, was established in 1879 in Carlisle, Pa. Because a comprehen sive listing has never been created, the actual number of Indian boarding schools is unknown. The number of Indian boarding schools established since 1 879 is estimated to be in the hundreds. Today, four BIA boarding schools - Chcmawa Indian School at Forest Grove, Ore., Sherman Indian School at Riverside, Calif., Flandreau Indian School at Flandreau, S.D., and Riverside Indian School at Anadarko, Okla. - are currently in use. Indian boarding schools have operated parallel to the mainstream education system historically. Cur riculums changed emphases accord ing to the changes in mainstream cur ricula, emphasizing agriculture from 1879 to 1910, vocational education from 1910 to 1960, academia from 1 960 to 1 990, and reform and college preparation in the 1990s. Cultural programming generally was limited until the 1960s, when many tribes began to oversee the schools. The primary difference be tween Indian boarding schools and the mainstream education systems was segregation. Historically, only two groups - African Americans and Native Americans - were segregated from mainstream education systems. African Americans were integrated with the Civil Rights Movement. To day, Native Americans continue to be segregated from mainstream educa tion systems, reinforcing misunder standing and stereotypes. Remember ing Our Indian School Days breaks down the walls of misunderstanding by presenting the common experi ences of the American education sys tem. Acculturation and Assimila tion Boarding schools separated chil dren from their families and tribal cul tures and required conformity to Euro-American society.

Another great accomplishment that Starla has completed is her in volvement with the Oregon Depart ment of Transportation. During an internship with the Traffic Safety Sec tion, Starla was given the honor and responsibility of researching and de veloping Oregon's curriculum for the Alternative Sentencing Program. This Slate program is being used through out the stale in 'Traffic Schools". In dividuals that c!hk)sc to go to traffic school, in lieu of paying a fine, will sit in a class (hat Starla has developed. We are very proud of Starla and her most recent and greatest accom plishments. She has higher goals that she is now setting out to accomplish. One is to eventually complete her master's degree and she will soon be teaching at Oregon's Police Acad emy, again teaching police officers from across the slate. Currently, she children into an unfamiliar environ ment. Children were abruptly taken from their families and homes and placed in government-run boarding schools around the country. Convers ing in one's Native language was strictly forbidden, and students were required to wear standard-issue Euro American clothing. Many students who arrived at the schools with long hair, which is spiritually symbolic for many Native cultures, received haircuts immedi ately following their arrival. Tradi tionally an act associated with spe cial ceremonies, hair cutting became one of the most immediate and dev astating experiences of boarding school life for Native Americans. The wearing of long hair has served as a powerful symbol of personal identity throughout the boarding school his tory. Making the Schools Their Own Although initially operated from a fundamentally Anglo-European structure, Indian boarding schools evolved with the national Native American identity. Sports, music and arts programs provided students with an important means of achieving competency in a world previously unfamiliar. The students' successes in these programs became a source of pride not only for the students but for the community as a whole. Carlisle Indian School student Louis Tewanima, Hopi, is one such example of the students' individual and collective successes. Tewanima, a silver medalist in the 1912 Olym pics, is remembered every Labor Day weekend at Shungopavi, Ariz., where a race is run in his honor. The event attracts runners from across the na tion. His classmate and acclaimed Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe, Sac and Fox, was a football star at Carlisle Indian School. Another phenomenon of the boarding school experience is the "In dian Princesses." Originating with the strict Victorian values of feminine Diversity is a keystone of pub lic radio and a very real part of daily life at NPR. To encourage more ap plicants from Native American com munities, NPR has been funded to offer several intern travel scholarships to Native American applicants se lected for summer 2001 internships. The scholarship includes a round-trip airline ticket, housing at a local university (double air-conditioned room) for the length of the in ternship, and a $100 subway ticket.

She just has to decide which agency she will choose to go to work for. I am sure that which ever agency she decided to go to, they will be most satisfied with the knowledge and abilities that she possess. Starla has set many of these goals when she was a young girl. It has taken her a few extra years then she expected to accomplish them, but she has. Now that she has conquered many tasks and cleared many barri ers, she is now in search for much higher goals and dreams. She still lives by her words: "If you want it bad enough, you can do it. No matter who you are or where you come from, all you have to do is try. There is noth ing you can not do." We are very proud of Starla and wanted to share our happiness and honor with our people, for she is very modest and will not tell people what she has been do ing these days. behavior instilled in Native students at boarding schools, the princesses became an expression of pride and Indian identity. With the creation of each student's royal clothing, it also became a vehicle for the continuation of traditional Native art forms such as beading and silverworking. A simple parallel can be drawn between the transition from the simple royal sash to full regalia, and the transition from "boarding schools for Indians" to "Indian boarding schools." Remembering Our Indian School Days incorporates a variety of audio and atmospheric elements to immerse visitors in the experience of Indian boarding schools. Each of the exhibition's 10 sections is constructed to emulate different boarding school experiences and environments, from the arrival to classrooms and dorm rooms. Hands-on stations will also be present throughout the exhibit, en abling visitors to interact with the exhibition.
