Stealing Little Moon : the legacy of the American Indian boarding schools / Dan SaSuWeh Jones.

Legacy of the American Indian boarding schools (portion title)
Jones, Dan C., 1951- (author.). Lajimodiere, Denise K., (writer of introduction.).

Summary:

Thousands of Indigenous children were forcibly sent to attend boarding schools specifically created by the government to teach them the ways of white society and punish them for observing their own cultures. Little Moon There Are No Stars Tonight was only four years old when she was removed from her home and sent to Chilocco -- and her grandson, the author, was working there as maintenance staff when it shut down nearly one hundred years later. These first-person accounts bring to light the lasting legacy of cultural erasure and abuse, and the strength and resiliency that made the effort ultimately unsuccessful.
