Reservation boarding schools represented an important component
in the U.S. government's campaign in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth century to "civilize" American Indians according to
Anglo-American standards. The history of the Rainy Mountain School
in southwestern Oklahoma reveals much about the form and function
of the Indian policy and its consequences for the Kiowa children
who attended the school.
In "To Change Them Forever," Clyde Ellis surveys changes in
government policy and tells how the Kiowa people resisted and
accommodated the efforts of school personnel to transform them.
Ellis combines archival research with personal memoirs,
conversations with former students, and the school's official
records to portray a school often at odds with official policy and
frequently neglected by the Indian Service's bureaucracy.
