Narratives of Boarding School Life; Conclusion; Notes; Works Cited; Index"The Carlisle Indian School and the Haskell Institute in Kansas were among the many federally operated boarding schools enacting the U.S. government's education policy toward Native Americans from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, one designed to remove children from familiar surroundings and impose mainstream American culture upon them. To Show What an Indian Can Do explores the history of sports programs at these institutions and, drawing on the recollections of former students, describes the importance of competitive sports in their lives. Author John Bloom focuses on the male and female students who did not typically go on to greater athletic glory but who found in sports something otherwise denied them by the boarding school program: a sense of community, accomplishment, and dignity."--BOOK JACKET.Sport and culture series ;v. 2.Indians of North AmericaSportsIndians of North AmericaEducationSportsUnited StatesHistoryOff-reservation boarding schoolsUnited StatesHistoryDiscrimination in sportsUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesRace relationsUnited StatesSocial conditionsElectronic books.Indians of North AmericaSports.Indians of North AmericaEducation.SportsHistory.Off-reservation boarding schoolsHistory.Discrimination in sportsHistory.796/.089/97Bloom John1962-948631MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451716003321To show what an Indian can do2144324UNINA
