    Description

    This is an original etching from Harper's Weekly of the Forest Grove Indian Training School in Forest Grove, Oregon.
    It measures
    16 x 12 inches and this history treasure would be a great part of any collection.
    The Forest Grove Indian Industrial Training School was a boarding school for Native American children that operated from 1880-1885. It later became Chemawa Indian School in Salem, where it still exists today. Administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior with support from Pacific University, the school hosted students from many Northwestern tribes, often without regard for their native cultures or the wishes of their families.
    I am listing a number of Native American images from this era.  It was a terrible and bloody era when a high percentage of the Native American population was wiped out in North America.  I weep for what happened then, and in no way to I condone the actions that occured.  My hope by selling these images is that they will tell a story that will live on.  Some of the stories show the struggles and others push a sterotype.  I hope their story and the education they can tell lives on in you as you purchase these.
    I have been a trusted vintage paper dealer since 1989 and been on eBay since 1997.  I have primarily sold in antique malls at San Francisco, San Diego, Monterey, Napa, Monterey, Portland, and Ellensburg.  I have sold over 30,000 advertisements to many happy customers, museums, galleries, and private collections.  If you are not happy with your purchase, please send it back for a full refund.
    I am a historian and educator by trade and deal in paper as a hobby.
    100% of all profits from my eBay sales are donated to children's non-profit organizations for kids to be involved in their community and go to summer camps.
    The item comes in an archival protective plastic sleeve with a white acid-free backing board.  It will be shipped in a strong and rigid mailer made in the USA out of 100% recyclable materials especially for flat shipping.  It will be marked as special photo materials - DO NOT BEND.  All items have a money-back guarantee - if you don't like the item, then pay for shipping and handling for a refund.  I ship worldwide.
