Deaths at Chemawa Indian School

Chemawa Indian School Students sent home sick, 1901-1912

A photocopy of a document that was probably created sometime in mid-to-late 1912, titled "Pupils sent home because of sickness, Salem Indian School, Chemawa, Oregon." This was created by the United States Indian Service of the Department of the Interior, which is the division of government that oversaw the school. The document lists the name, tribe, diagnosis and date sent home for students between January 1901 through April 1912.

This document was shared with the Pacific University Archives by an independent researcher; the original is in the Chemawa Indian School Records, Record Group 75; National Archives and Records Administration (Seattle).
