INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL CONDITIONS
MALARIA IN NANCE OKLAHOMA, 1912
A white staff member of the boarding school at Nance Oklahoma strongly pushes
for his superior transfer him and his wife away from the disease ridden facility
in which children were confined for schooling and work details.
The Indian children were taken from their parents and families had no choice in staying or leaving
these unsanitary and horrible conditions. They would have lived and been raised by their
own mothers and fathers but the failed genocidal experiment that used them as
laboratory animals insured they spent their childhood institutionalized without family love and affection.
These were not convicted law violators but average children.
This was not a reformatory which was the popular way
to punish white children who violated the law in this era.
These were simply Native American children and nearly
every child of this ancestry was forceable taken from home, love and family to destroy
their feeling and connection to that family.
