Extractions: 503/373-0701 x 239 State Archives Exhibit Recounts Indian Boarding School Experience Salem The Oregon State Archives, located at 800 Summer Street NE in Salem, will host the exhibit "They Sacrificed for Our Survival: The Indian Boarding School Experience," from April 14 to May 8, 2000. "I am pleased that the State Archives will display information about this important, yet often unmentioned, chapter in Oregon history," said Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, whose agency includes the State Archives. "It is not a chapter we can be proud of, but one which we should not forget." Federal Indian policy makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s sought to use the schoolhouse specifically the boarding school as an instrument for acculturating Indian youth to "American" ways of thinking and living. Only by removing Indian children from their homes for extended periods of time, policy makers reasoned, could white "civilization" take root while childhood memories of "savagism" gradually faded to the point of extinction. The attempted eradication of Indian cultures is still a source of pain for many American Indians. This exhibit introduces a subject little known outside American Indian communities. The exhibit includes stories of Indian boarding school survivors told in the oral tradition of their ancestors and through historical photographs and student artwork dating from the late 1800s through the 1950s. The photographs illustrate several of the large, off-reservation federal schools Carlisle in Pennsylvania, Chilocco in Oklahoma, and Chemawa in Oregon as well as mission schools in Washington and Idaho. Exhibit materials are part of the Estelle Reel Collection at Cheney Cowles Museum in Spokane, Washington.

Extractions: Reflections of former students: ABUSE ``There was one fella (a dorm attendant) that was having mental health problems, and they sent him to the school to get him out of the way. Anyway, he would have these psychotic episodes and hear voices, and he would just come out of his room in the middle of the night and randomly pick people out and whip them severely for no reason.'' Peter Campbell, Colville/Coeur d'Alene, who attended two Roman Catholic boarding schools in Washington and Idaho in the 1950s. ``Our (dorm) matron, she would spank us real hard on the rear, put us over this old-fashioned laundry tub, and just spank the hell out of us. It got to the point where it didn't bother us, so she would use her high heels. She would start slapping your face, hitting us until we cried. We learned to start crying so she would stop. Someday I'd like to confront her and talk to her about what she did to us.'' Ethel Sales, Navajo, who attended a Christian Reformed mission school in Rehobeth, N.M.

Extractions: Rediff.com A School for the Disenfranchised by Aseem Chhabra Before graduating from Princeton University, Rajiv Vinnakota wondered if he should enter medical school. But being burnt out from studying molecular biology, and earning a certificate from the Wilson School in politics as well, he decided to do something different. So he joined Mercer Management Consulting in 1993, and within three years, he was promoted three times. But he wasn't entirely happy. The "social pull" his immigrant parents, who are both educators, had instilled in him from boyhood was gnawing at him. "If I was to stay in the for-profit world, I'd be at Mercer," he would tell the Princetonian after a few years. "It was a great learning experience. I learned so much that I can apply to the non-profit world."
