In part 2 of a 3-part series, The Tribune looks at the origins and history of Utah’s failure to create an effective education system for Ute students.
. The Uintah Boarding School in Whiterocks would operate almost twice as long, for a total of more than 70 years.
In a 1928 hearing, an interpreter shared the concerns of Ute parent Sapaneese: “He says from the littlest to the biggest they have to work. He says they are hungry.” Ute boys in uniform at the boarding school in Whiterocks are shown in this undated photo.Using federal reports, The Salt Lake Tribune has tallied at least 50 student deaths at the Whiterocks school, largely from measles and tuberculosis, and cataloged abuse of Ute kids.
Both schools, because they were on the reservation, were not far from students’ homes, but many kids were forced to board and forbidden from seeing their families. “Frequent visits home are harmful,” reads one school policy from the 1930s. Most of the Utes who attended as children have since died, Chapoose said, and much of the history is scattered.These tribal members say their relatives’ experiences mirrored their own education in many ways later in the public school system. They saw harsh treatment, racism and a failure by teachers to educate.
In a recent email to The Tribune, she said: “It occurred to me years later that it might have been a list of answers to a question like, ‘Why are the students failing?’” The report notably had input from the late Francis McKinley, a prominent member of the Ute Tribe, who said Natives continued to have an adversarial relationship with the public education system. Many tribal members, he said, still referred to them in the 1960s as “the white man’s schools.”“The educational system has not succeeded in providing the majority of Indian children with the minimum level of competence necessary to prepare them to be productive citizens in a larger society.
