| Abstract: |
The article offers information on the Sherman Institute which opened in 1902 to house Native American students. It notes how the Indian children were required to provide the labor to maintain the school with matrons, disciplinarians and teachers supervising the students who clean and maintain the facilities. In 1966 the institute became officially credited as a high school and was renamed Sherman Indian High School. It indicates how the school evolved into a prime high school for the Native American youth. |
