Notes

Abstract: Reformers and policymakers in the late nineteenth century envisioned that schools would mold Indian youths into a new race that more closely reflected white society. The Kiowas in southwestern Oklahoma finally received their school in the 1890s. With particular emphasis on Cora Dunn, the school's principal for sixteen years, Clyde Ellis explores Rainy Mountain Boarding School's early history in a revealing study of frustrations, limitations, and, too often, neglect.
