Featured presentation: "A History of the American Indian Boarding Schools," Eric P. Anderson

Renewed calls for investigations into the abuses to American Indian children have brought new scrutiny to the boarding school system. This talk will examine the thinking behind the creation of federal schools for youth, including Haskell Indian Nations University, originally known as the United States Indian Industrial Training School, and how this system affected Native communities in the short and long term. The American Indian story is one of cultural survival, but what are the next steps for reckoning with this difficult and painful part of our national history? 

Eric P. Anderson holds a doctorate in American History from the University of Kansas, specializing in American Indian cultures and the history of the United States West. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and teaches at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. His
major research focus is on American Indian education, specially the system of federal boarding schools established for Native youth in the late nineteenth century. He is currently working on projects about the history of Haskell Institute, as well as a textbook examining American Indian cultures and history.
