Harwood Hall at Chemawa with Professor David G. Lewis

Sun Jan 25
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Professor David G. Lewis presents on Chemawa Indian School and its superintendent, Harwood Hall. Hall and his wife, Rose, collected and used Native culture and students to elevate themselves socially in society. At the same time Hall was in charge of education of Native students, and federal education amounted to assimilation, creating the irony of Hall administering the destruction of the cultural traditions and arts of the next generations of Native peoples. How the Halls operated at Chemawa and Sherman schools is addressed.
