Beginning in the 1800s and continuing into the 1950s, the U.S. federal government forced Native children from their homes and sent them to often faraway military-style residential schools, a policy that had profound effects and is now recognized as cultural genocide.

The school was attended by over 12,000 Native children from more than 140 tribes between 1879 and 1918.
