“All four criteria must be met for an institution to be considered a Federal Indian Boarding School (FIBS).”
The four criteria follow:
- Housing – Institution ever described as providing housing or overnight lodging to attendees on site.
- Education – Institution ever described as providing formal academic or vocational training or instruction.
- Federal Support – Institution ever described as having federal government funds or other support provided to the institution.
- Timeframe – Institution operational at any time prior to 1969.
