At the University of Washington there is a professor in the American
Indian Studies division of the Anthropology Department who, I believe, has
done extensive research on Indian boarding schools. I think she even
recently published a book on this subject. Her name is Tsianina
Lomawaima and you should be able to reach her through her office,
(206) 543-4793, or the departmental phone number, (206) 543-9082. I can't
find an e-mail address for her.
