Indian School Days Views

• Books

The melancholy of those black days has left so long a shadow that it darkens the path of years that have since gone by. These sad memories rise above those of smoothly grinding school days. Perhaps my Indian nature is the moaning wind which stirs them now for their present record. But, however tempestuous this is within me, it comes out as the low voice of a curiously colored seashell, which is only for those ears that are bent with compassion to hear it.

The groundbreaking exhibition Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience draws on first-person recollections, memorabilia and the writings and art of four generations of Indian School alumni to examine the commonality of the boarding school experience. A powerful display that explores an important era in American history, the exhibition incorporates historic images, music, sound, oral histories, memorabilia and video to immerse visitors in the story being told by the people who lived it.

Remembering Our Indian School Days celebrates the spirit of survival. Originally established to sld"civilizenrd" American Indians into mainstream society, Indian boarding schools became a shaping force of a national American Indian identity. rld"This is not just a part of American Indian history; it is an important element of American history in its entirety, rd" says Margaret Archuleta, curator of the exhibition, which opened in 2002 and has become one of the museum's most popular and moving presentations.

The primary difference between Indian boarding schools and the mainstream education systems was segregation. Historically, only two groups – African Americans and American Indians – were segregated from mainstream education systems. African Americans were integrated with the Civil Rights Movement. Today, American Indians continue to be segregated from mainstream education systems, reinforcing misunderstanding and stereotypes. Remembering Our Indian School Days breaks down the walls of misunderstanding by presenting the common experiences of the American education system.
