Established in 1884 and operative for nearly a century, the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma was one of a series of off-reservation boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indian children into mainstream American life. Critics have characterized the schools as destroyers of Indian communities and cultures, but the reality that K. Tsianina Lomawaima discloses was much more complex. Lomawaima allows the Chilocco students to speak for themselves. In recollections juxtaposed against the official records of racist ideology and repressive practice, students from the 1920s and 1930s recall their loneliness and demoralization but also remember with pride the love and mutual support binding them togetherthe forging of new pan-Indian identities and reinforcement of old tribal ones.

Chilocco
Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! Where the prairies never end, Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! You are still our famous friend. School of schools you are the best, You're the school that stands the test, You're the school that brings us fame, Ever we'll revere thy name.
Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! We love your campus grand, We love your lawns and shady walks Where graceful maples stand. We love the sunsets and the stars at night, Reflected by the lake so bright. We love the sunsets and the stars at night, Reflected by the lake so bright. We love the cardinal's cheery call, And the bright red maples in the fall.
Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! Where your old stone buildings stand. Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! Ivy covered they are grand. They are monuments of hope As we on learning's ladder grope, School that makes our dreams come true, We are ever loyal to you.
Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! When the morning bugle calls, Oh Chilocco! Oh Chilocco! We are glad to fill your halls. We come here that we may learn, Life's great secret to discern, Teach us how to work and play, Bring us something new each day.
Chilocco School song Chilocco: School of Opportunity, 1938
