BOARDING SCHOOL LISTS OF “NON-FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED” TRIBES

 

* = same person from previous line

 

? = uncertainty as to final year of attendance or if the individual is the same as person from previous line or the individual’s tribal affiliation

 

NOTE: years listed are those I have documented records for; there may be other years of attendance for the individuals listed

 

NOTE: Listings such as Algonquin, Pawkunnawkut, Pokonoket, Pokanot, Pokonot, Wampanas or Blue Hill refer to Mashpee or Aquinnah Wampanoag, but also could be intermixed with Pocasset, Herring Pond or other non-recognized Massachussetts Wampanoag community.

 

NOTE: Haliwa-Saponi, MOWA Choctaw, Monacan, and Lumbee are sometimes listed as Cherokee in boarding school records.

 

NOTE: MOWA Choctaw are listed as Choctaw, Cherokee, Choctaw-Cherokee, Cherokee-Choctaw and Indian in boarding school records.

 

NOTE: Haliwa-Saponi are sometimes listed as Tuscarora/Tuskarara.

 

NOTE: Nanticoke and Kansas Muncie are sometimes listed as Delaware. *There are also Munsie/Muncie listed in the records who are a part of the Six Nations in New York and Canada separate from the Kansas Muncie. 

 

NOTE: Penobscots are sometimes listed as Abenaki.

 

NOTE: Narragansett are sometimes listed as Niantic.

 

NOTE: Alabama are sometimes listed as Alabama-Coushatta (not Louisiana Coushatta; separate tribe)

 

**I am always looking for revisions/corrections/additions.  If you have anything to share, please do so and I will attempt to make any necessary changes with documentation that you provide.  This is a living project that is dependent on the knowledge and understanding of many.  Please contact me at helphaskell@hotmail.com with any necessary questions, concerns or information. 

 

**I estimate that there are at least 1,000 total members of the “non-federal” tribes who attended these eight boarding schools.  Hopefully, during the next decade or so, these others will be verified.

 

On the following pages you will see:

1. Full list of tribal attendees from US “non-federal” or “not federal at the time of attendance” tribes, as well as Terminated tribes who attended during the times they were terminated.

2. List of all tribes and their status in relation to recognition categories of State recognition, dates of federal recognition, termination dates, etc. 

3. Total numbers of attendees per tribe with schools of attendance

4. International Indigenous Lists

5. Attendees broken up by tribes for all categories

 

*So there are a multitude of ways to search for exactly what a researcher may be looking for. So please take a look and find the format which fits your needs best.

 

Here are some helpful links that were created long after I began researching this information.  These can get you more information from Carlisle and additional information from Chilocco beyond what I have placed below in the lists and on the website.
