Established in the mid-nineteenth century, Native American Boarding schools were created as an attempt to eliminate traditional Native American ways of life and replace them with mainstream American culture. Often forcibly removed from their families, communities, and stripped of their cultural practices, Native American children experienced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of those in control of boarding school operations, resulting in intergenerational trauma. These sources bring users into contact with documents that help give them a sense of what life was like for students who attended Native American boarding schools. These sources also give users an understanding of the national perspective of how Native Americans and their culture were targeted.

School leadership is conducted through shared responsibilities within established legal structures. Faculty, staff, administration, and boards of a school collaborate to guide and lead the school with input from stakeholder groups. Governance and internal administration are implemented in a manner that cultivates active collaboration, supportive relationships, effective leadership, consequential action, and accountability. These three entities: the leadership council, principal, and executive director make up the collaborative leadership structure of the organization and are there to support all the members of the school community.
