The Canton Indian Insane Asylum in South Dakota (sometimes called the Hiawatha Insane Asylum) opened for the reception of patients in 1903. Not long after it opened, a 1927 investigation conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that many of the patients were not mentally ill in any clinical sense. Many Native Americans had been institutionalized for alcoholism, opposing government or business interests, or being culturally misunderstood. Nevertheless, more than 350 patients from 53 Native nations were detained at Canton, many of them relatives across generations. Conditions at the institution were dire; at least 121 of these patients died while there. In 1934, just 31 years after it accepted its first patient, Canton was closed and its story largely forgotten. In Committed, Susan Burch resurrects this history through the stories of individuals detained at Canton Asylum, told to her by their relatives, the asylum's staff, and the town's residents during this time"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCritical indigeneities. 606 $aInmates of institutions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00973691 606 $aIndians, Treatment of$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00970120 606 $aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00969761 606 $aIndians of North America$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00969633 606 $aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations$y1869-1934 606 $aInmates of institutions$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aIndians of North America$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aIndians, Treatment of$zNorth America 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aNorth America$2fast 608 $aHistory 608 $aBiographies 610 $aHistory of the Americas 615 0$aInmates of institutions 615 0$aIndians, Treatment of 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations 615 0$aIndians of North America 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations 615 0$aInmates of institutions 615 0$aIndians of North America 615 0$aIndians, Treatment of 676 $a970.00497 700 $aBurch$b Susan$0889497 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910445547503321 996 $aCommitted$92435531 997 $aUNINA
