In 1896, a superintendent complained that Ute mothers saw the boarding schools 'as merely a plot of the white man against their liberties and possessions.' And arguably, that's what they were.
A Ute family in traditional regalia.Many parents refused to have their children exposed to one of the key assimilation strategies: federal boarding schools, either those built in other states or the two that opened on the reservation. Some children who were sent — or were collected by officials — ran away. Many refused to stop speaking their own language, although it was forbidden at school. Families reconnected on breaks and during the summers and at Bear Dances.
Walker wrote, “and regard the education so lavishly extended by the Government as merely a plot of the white man against their liberties and possessions."The reports also show Ute students staying connected to their families — refusing to stop speaking Ute, taking yeast home to make bread at their family’s tepee, bringing fabric from home to sew clothing at school for a favorite brother or sister.
