The following dataset is a list of students in the Choctaw Nation schools during the class year of 1904. It was compiled by Ruthie McLillan and provided to AccessGenealogy for publication.
A day school curriculum included subjects such as English, math, history, drawing and composition. Students would often produce a variety of weekly and monthly newspapers and other publications that were considered part of their “industrial training,” or preparing for work in the larger economy. These featured their artwork and writing. Students also learned trade and work skills, such as artisan and domestic crafts, which were considered useful at the time. The children attended school during the day and returned to their homes in the evening.
The concept behind day schools was simple. It was the white man’s continued attempt to force Native Americans to assimilate to the white culture.

Why doesn’t the author give credit to the picture of the Weaver School from the Smithsonian Institute as being build for Indians by Indians in 1835 in Amwhar is today in Mobile and Washington County, Alabama?
Plaigarism at its finest. The Choctaw Nation of Indians residing in Alabama are the students of the Weaver Indian School at the Byrd Settlement (may also be referred to as Eagle Town).
The author gave no credit to the Smithsonian Institute where this picture originated from.
