Foundation of a Nation : a History of Education on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation from 1940-1959

Abstract

This project looks at the changes in education during the 1940's and the 1950's on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation in Northern Wisconsin. The project focuses on four schools: St. Francis Solanus Indian Mission, Kinnamon, New Post School, and White Fish School. The project examines the schools' origins, reactions to the schools, and how the progression of the schools fit in with national education plans of Bureau of Indian Affairs.
