“The research conducted for the initial work of the Department of the Interior Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative has resulted in the identification of hundreds of boarding schools that have been considered against four criteria,” the 53-page document reads.
“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.
