Recently I visited the Heard Museum in Phoenix Arizona and saw the exhibit:
“Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience”
It’s an exhibit that pulls at your heart.
This is a righteous part of American History that exemplifies the belief that we could decide what is best for others.
I located a NY Times Article, ironically dated July 5th, 1896, about the Phoenix Indian School. In reading it, you see that “Spin” is not a new invention. 
The original Phoenix Indian School Campus is not far from the Heard. The school is no longer functioning and is undergoing renovations and one day I guess it will become a museum.
The photo on the right has me ask the question, “when you are forced to be other then who you are, what happens to your creativity?”
