THE INDIAN SCHOOLS
There are quite a number of Indian Schools today. Some of the old Indian Missions have been abandoned, but some are still in use.

Nuyaka Mission or Nuyaka Boarding School ceased to be a boarding school in 1923. It is located fourteen miles west of Okmulgee.

Another Indian School known as Euchee Boarding School is located on the east edge of Sapulpa. When the Nuyaka Boarding School was closed the students of that school were transferred to Euchee Boarding School, which is still in use and retains its same name.

Eufaula Boarding School for girls located in the edge of Eufaula.

Chilocco Indian School is located in the northwest part of Oklahoma near the Kansas line.

Haskell Institute is at Lawerence, Kansas. It is a big school and all kinds of Indian tribes go there.

Riverside, California, is another Indian School.

Sequoyah Training School, located near Tahlequah, Oklahoma is another Indian school mostly for Cherokee although many Creek Indians go to school there.

Mekusukey, an Indian school near Wewoka, Oklahoma, was destroyed by fire but now it is expected to be rebuilt again.

An old Indian school of Wealaka has been abandoned.

Another at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was also abandoned.
