Paiute Tribal leaders say they are now considering “how best to honor and memorialize” the children who died at the Panguitch Boarding School, which operated from 1904 to 1909.
The findings also come as the U.S. Department of Interior, led by Secretary Deb Haaland, has recently focused onsaid the tribe is both heartbroken and angry at the confirmation of bodies, knowing that the students were mistreated and abused at the boarding school in Panguitch, which operated from 1904 to 1909.
The kids were banned from speaking their language and beaten if they did. Racist federal administrators frequently described them as inferior and in need of “civilizing,” in line with the goal of assimilating Native children at boarding schools, reports from the time state. About 30 kids attended each year. In one haunting photo of the school, the children are lined up outside and clearly crying.
In the same report, the school’s field matron, Sadie McFoster, blamed the children and the tribes for a propensity toward getting sick. She then described burying the child at the school. It’s not clear if Alex or Theodore were buried at the boarding school, Lee has said, or if their bodies were returned to family. The last report from 1909, when the school closed, listed bad health as the reason for shuttering.The radar work has confirmed that there are 12 bodies there, with the tribe noting in its statement that it believes two were from the Kaibab Band and four were from the Shivwits Band.
The university produced a report on the radar findings as part of its work on the site. The school did not immediately provide a copy when asked Tuesday. The Tribune has filed a public records request seeking access to it.
