Chemawa Indian School Student Deaths, 1900-1912
Title
Chemawa Indian School Student Deaths, 1900-1912
Description
A photocopy of a document that was probably created sometime in mid-1912, titled "Deaths from 1900 to 1912, Salem Indian School, Chemawa, Oregon." This was created by 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, age, tribe, diagnosis and date of death for students who passed away at the school from 1900 through February, 1912. However, it should be noted that the list is incomplete; additional deaths are known to have occurred among students at Chemawa beyond the ones listed here.
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).
