Just a note to tell you that the Flandreau Indian School is located in Moody County, not Brookings County. I grew up around that area.

There was an Indian school in Cut meat, South Dakota in the late 1800's. Under family trees, yellow Cloud. post 12 there is a list of some of the patrons in 1897 and a list of some of the people living in the area at that time. I have the picture of the people listed but am not smart enough to get it posted. I also have 11 pages out of the 1946, 47 and 48 year books from hastkell. My mother in law was there during those years and while the pages I have are about her, there are lots of others on them to. If anyone wants them, i will gladly send copies. My email is RayHenry4@aol.com, thanks, Ray

Blue Cloud Abbey in Martin, SD has a huge collection of information. You can call them and ask questions. They are also trying to ID a lot of 100 year old pix.

Blue Cloud Abbey is in Marvin SD. Sorry to correct it was probably just a typo. Marvin is maybe around 8 miles east of I-29 and US Hwy 12 in the northeast corner of SD

Did anyone see last night on the BBC news that the Prime Minister of Canada made a formal apology to the Canadian Native Americas for the abuse, neglect and other atrocities that they had suffered in the Canadian Native American schools for all of these years? There were many Native American people shown as well. Will wonders never cease? Sunshine

PS. I was being sarcastic. Has America ever apologized? If not, maybe someone should contact George Bush and educate him to the facts.

I don't hold any hopes for educating Bush. he still doesn't know what a quishe is. and he doesn't know the way up.Cheney had to give him a road map.

From Cousin Reuben:
April 30, 2008 The Colorado Legislature passed a resolution comparing the deaths of millions of American Indians to the Holocaust and other acts of genocide around the world.
June 2, 2008 Canada announced that a Truth and Reconciliation Commission is examining a decades long government policy that required Canadian Indians to attend schools where students were forced to lose their cultural identity and were routinely subjected to abuse.
June 11, 2008 Yesterday Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologized to Canada's native peoples for a former government policy of forcing their children to attend state-fund schools aimed at assimilation.
2008 - This year Minnesota is celebrating its 150th year of statehood.
Does the governor's office have enough leadership to follow the leaders of Colorado and Canada, and apologize to its indigenous people whose culture they destroyed to create the state?
The year is almost at a midpoint and nothing has happened yet. What do you think?

I am not sure where to put this..............I asked Barbara Landis to identify family pictures from Carlisle Indian School. Identified were Nellie Robertson and her sister Etta. They were the children of my great great uncle Angus Robertson and step children of my great great aunt Nancy Mahpiyahotanka Robertson. Barbara informed me that Nellie Robertson graduated from Carlisle went to another school to complete her education and became a teacher. She returned to Carlisle and eventually ran the Carlisle School. I found out Nellie was also a poet and some of her poetry was publised in a recent book about Native American Woman Poets.
A relative brought to my attention that perhaps the "American Girl" Books published a story about a "Sioux Indian girl by the name of Nettie" and I am now wondering if this was based upon Nellie Robertson.
Through this new info I have also discovered that Nellie and Etta were the step-dughter's of Nancy Mahipiyahotanka Robertson. Does anyone know about Angus Robertson's first wife?

Jimmy .I know this post started in 2007 but thought you might know something about what I'm looking for. There have been family stories that when he was young William Carpenter (born about 1850) went to a school somewhere down near Yankton. It could have been also in northern Nebraska. What schools would have been around then for a young boy? No dates were given but he was around Crow Creek and documented by 1870.
Also, I think there was a school in Rapid City. Soo San Hospital started as a school, I think. Donna

There were no boarding schools before 1879 I believe. The school at that time would probably have been a missionary school. Sometimes missionaries ran schools out of their homes or out of the church, but I couldn't say in this case. It is possible they had a special school building set up.

I wasn't sure since farther south was settled first. I'll do some checking to see what the missionaries were down there around that time.

I am looking for information on a woman named Mary Ellen Leroy. As far as we know in the baptismal record at St. Paul's Indian Mission, Marty, South Dakota she was registered in their books as being born in 7/11/1943 and baptized in the church there. Her Mother's name is Leona Leroy. The place of birth is supposed to be Wagner, South, Dakota IHS. Could anyone knowing any thing about her please email me asap. Thanks in advance.
