North Dakota | Activity 3.7: American Indian Boarding Schools

Students look at photos and newspaper articles about American Indian Boarding Schools and discuss what life was like as a student. As a take home assignment, students research more on their own and write a journal entry as if they just completed school; in their entry, they decide whether they will continue school or go back to their Indian culture.
