Lac du Flambeau Indian Boarding School (Wisconsin)
History[edit | edit source]
During the 19th century, the United States government created multiple policies to assimilate Native Americans into the culture of European-American culture. One of these ways was to create boarding houses for Native American children. Mandatory attendance was required for children ages 5-15. The government run, year-round, boarding school at Lac du Flambeau was opened in 1895 and was shifted to a day school in 1932. Most of the children at Lac du Flambeau were Ojibwe.[1]
