Code Talkers -- The Boarding Schools


In the beginning of the novel we are introduced to our main character, Ned (Little Boy) Begay.  Ned begins his story by describing the day his family sent him away to an Indian Boarding School.  Ned had no idea what to expect at this strange new place.  

Today, we are going to spend a little time learning the reason behind these Boarding Schools and what the conditions in these schools were like.

Watch the video below and then reflect on how Ned was treated at his boarding school.  


Create a comment to this post that answers the question:   

How did Ned's experience in the boarding school influence how he viewed himself?

  6. It prolly made him feel like being native means nothing and learning the way of the whites was the only thing.

  7. He did everything he was told and was a good student. He worked hard to be a good "white man"...but he didn't forget his native language or culture, them trying to change him made him want to keep his culture more than ever.
