They Called It Prairie Light, Chilocco Indian School

     When I picked up this book I did not know what would be told. I knew some  information on Indian boarding schools from classes I have taken in my college career. However, I did not know that the treatment was so severe. I knew children were removed from their homes and their hair was cut off when they did reach the boarding school, but I had no clue of the malnutrition they were subjected to as well as the punishment of running away from school, or speaking their native tongue. I was never told of the life in a boarding school, thankfully my parents never had to experience it. I do not know about my Grandparents. I dont think they like to talk about it all that much thats why I never did really ask.
