[@pointyblackhat]

It’s heartbreaking what we do here. We build, tear down, throw away, buy more, more, more. I spent a month or so in Paris, and they don’t see why we do these things. There, everywhere you look are buildings that are a few hundred years old. There are offices and apartments and stores all put there together, and it works. They build a building to last forever, and, instead of ripping one down to build another, they repair the ones that are already there. Logical. Sensible. If you take a boat tour down the Seine, your tour guide will show you places where things happen-Matisse painted there. Shakespeare wrote 3 plays sitting over there. This building is 350 years old… so sad…

Fun fact: in the period of 1879-1918, most people only ever had a sixth grade education in the United States and presumably it was similar in Canada. By the 1920's the eighth grade was what most people got to. It wasn't until after WWII that most people were attending high school with half or more than half graduating. My great grandmother was a teacher, so was my grandmother and several aunts and my sister. They helped me a lot with family history research and how much education various family members got and what school they went to. Until then I was under the assumption that high school had been standard for over two centuries. I had no idea the education was so limited back then. So don't read too much into a statement that a very small number of students graduated from a particular school. Even if that school was limited to the 8th grade that would not have been that unusual in the rest of the population. My sister graduated from college and went on to get her masters. I only went to college for two years. My mother went to college for two years and my Dad graduated only from high school. Of my eight great grandparents, one had two years of college, two graduated high school, one completed the 8th grade, two completed sixth grade, one completed third grade and one never attended school and could not read mostly due to war. They were born between 1853 and 1886 and died between 1924 and 1965 as a reference point. Prior to that only a handful of thousands of my ancestors completed a four year degree and fewer than half had much more than six years of education. This is generally because most children either were apprenticed at age 12 or they simply began work at whatever their trade was going to be. Most children in 1900 began their first full time job (12 hours a day x 6 days a week) sometime between the age of 12 and 15. Presumably that applied for most indigenous children as well.

[@owlfethurz8377]

Very nice. I love the music too, sounds like the song "Guenevere". It's fascinating to enjoy old photos.

Wow! Huge difference in women's style for grocery shopping in a twenty year period. I actually remember when women walked around in public with curlers in their hair.

158 students out of 10,000? Insane!

[@patchdavis35]

The US was determined to "save" indigenous children by indoctrinating them to "white man's ways". They were beaten for speaking the only language they had ever known and forced to learn English.. Conditions in the schools were brutal. All that was accomplished was pretty much the destruction of the future of their tribes . Uncle Sam knows best, after all.

[@lorraineleevedan]

Yet do they mention how many of those CHILDREN tried to run away and ended up freezing to death. What about the thousands of UNMARKED GRAVES of the CHILDREN that surrounds those schools... Horrific abuse went on in those places... to CHILDREN. My father graduated from there and he said that it didn't mean Fk all, because he still lived with the nightmare of everything he'd been through. Those kids were neglected and never held or shown any compassion. CULTURAL GENOCIDE imagine it happening to your 4 or 5 year old. My dad didn't know how to be a dad. Really, poor guy was never held if he got hurt No, He was hit on the side of his head or had his hair pulled. He told me stories but not many. I could tell it hurt him to remember and I FORGAVE him for not being there for me. He just didn't know how...

[@mariek2070]

The 158 is approximately 1.6% of the students. What the photo doesn't reveal is why so few. Many students/children were beaten, malnourished and subjected to hard labor and other forms of neglect and abuse. Some never returned to their families. Many died & were buried in secret, on school grounds.

This could be a picture of my father. He sat on a tiny stool at every milking just like this. He could be washing the udder before milking.

Where I live now has a traffic roundabout and in the middle is the three story plus basement courthouse built in the 1920’s. The building was in great need of help, and the county jail was on the top floor. They worked up everything the old building needed, or build a new “flat commercial building” at another location. $4.7 million for the new, or preserve the old and upgrade it (and move the jail) for $4.8 million. It meant a 20 year bond and 10% increase in property taxes. Preserve the old was about 7/8ths the which option to go. And for the debt, again, about 7/8th yes vote for the debt. They did a nice job. Just over another decade of debt. It’s very nice to have our old building ready to face another century. Moral: sometimes the old elegance wins.
