My researching indicates - it was originally viewed for training Indian girls as seamstresses and the boys for industries as farming, etc. I was third generation to attend; my grandmother was there in the latter part of the 1800s but was taken out of the third grade for an arranged marriage. She said she was 13 or 14. My mother attended then onto Chilocco and Haskell. I was there for 7 years. Yes, "Gravy" was a common staple. I've written a Dictionary of Indian School Vocabulary [unpublished], As a regular contributor to the "Grande Living Mag" , an Arizona monthly publication; I have occasionally written of boarding school incidents. We who are government boarding school products must not forget. In a bittersweet way, those institutions are part of our Indian heritage and history.

My grandfather is John McIntosh, my mother is Francis McIntosh. My brother, Russell Brim graduated from Pawnee High and married Linda. I have a cousin, Bryan McIntosh. I loved being there all the time. I loved the lake, the drive-inn and cruising the Tasty-Freeze. Now, that was a long time ago. Pawnee is what I call my "Home Town". Anyone that remembers my family can contact me at jonpasley@att.net. Would love to hear from any of you. I was born in the Pawnee Indian Hospital in 1949.
