  Established in 1884 and operative for nearly a century, the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma was one of a series of off-reservation boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indian children into mainstream American life. This title recalls the Chilocco students' loneliness and demoralization, and mutual support binding them together.
