Senate Hearing Critics Indian boarding schools on Navajo Reservation
Hearings in Washington before a Senate subcommittee on Indian education drew criticism from Sen. Walter Mondale about Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding schools on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona and New Mexico. Mondale cited 9 000 Indian children nine years old or younger educated in these schools and said transportation limits leave nearly 8 000 Navajo children unable to reach central locations. He related winter fatalities of Navajo boys fleeing boarding schools and described living arrangements that separate siblings. Medical experts warned of potential mental health damage offsetting any educational gains, with Dr Karl Menninger declaring the harm to young Indians from removal from family environments catastrophic.
