Deaths at Chemawa Indian School

Chemawa Indian School Students treated for tuberculosis, 1900-1911

A photocopy of a document that was probably created sometime in late 1912, titled "List of tubecular cases since 1900 with date of entering Hospital and date of discharge from Hospital." This appears to have been created by wither school administrators or other staff of the United States Indian Service of the Department of the Interior, which is the division of government that oversaw the school. The document lists the name, diagnosis, date hospitalized, and date discharged for each student. The list was likely compiled using records from the school physician and/or the Chemawa Indian School hospital.

This document was shared with the Pacific University Archives by an independent researcher; the original is in the Chemawa Indian School Records, Record Group 75; National Archives and Records Administration (Seattle).
