This rare Indian newspaper has a back page headline and full column of news from an INDIAN CORRESPONDENT in ARIZONA giving news of the APACHE INDIAN WAR in that Territory . The correspondent identifies himself as Michael Burns, a Mojave Indian. Rare instance of a Native American Indian correspondent for a Native American Indian published newspaper reporting on the INDIAN WARS !!!! The Indian Helper was a newspaper printed BY Native American Indians and FOR a Native American readership. It is a rare title printed BY Native American Indians in the 19th Century and contained reports of interest to their Native American readers ! Carlisle Indian Industrial School , (1879 - 1918), was an Indian boarding school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania . Founded in 1879 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania by Captain Richard Henry Pratt , the school was the first off-reservation boarding school, and it became a model for schools in other locations. It was an attempt to forcibly assimilate Native American children from 140 tribes into the majority culture of the United States . The school had its football team, led by superior athlete Jim Thorpe , compete with colleges in the early 20th century. The Carlisle School was a model for the founding of 26 Indian boarding schools across the country by the federal government by 1902. The belief was that Native American children needed to assimilate to the majority culture in order to survive, and they were forced to give up much of what they knew. Ideas about education have since changed drastically. Pratt experienced conflict with government officials over his outspoken views on the need for Native Americans to assimilate. In 1904 he was forced to retire as superintendent of the School. After Pratt was forced out, some of the school was upgraded to be a counterpart of colleges and training institutes. Its football teams competed against those of colleges. It had a strong sports program and training for trade industries, as industry represented what directors saw as the area of greatest job expansion. By the time the “noble experiment” at Carlisle ended, nearly 12,000 children had been through the school. Students came from 140 tribes from all over the United States. Less than 8% graduated, while well over twice that percentage ran away. Very good condition.
