Looking down on the Indian School at Cherokee, this 1909 view shows the campus in the mountains of western North Carolina, on the Qualla Boundary, the land held by the Eastern Band of Cherokee. The school belonged to the federal boarding school system, which took Native children from their families to teach them English, Christian values, and trades, a practice that left deep marks on generations of Cherokee families. An elevated vantage like this one shows how the dormitories, classrooms, and grounds were arranged, which makes it useful for anyone studying how these institutions were built and organized.
