Note

  • Display Note: Abstract: While most tales of American Indian boarding schools recount abuse and loss of identity, the story of the Eufaula Boarding School for Girls includes times of celebration of Creek culture and care for the students. As Linda Ford Wendel shows, hard work was part of daily life, but music, family visits, and Creek cultural activities were also encouraged.
