As suggest…

Sports and the Politics of Identity and Memory: The Case of Federal Indian Boarding Schools During the 1930s
The federal government of the United States developed a complex System of boarding schools for Native Americans in the 19(th) century. This effort was generally insensitive and often brutal. In spite of such brutality many students managed to negotiate and create new understandings of traditions and cultural autonomy while in such schools.
