I would contact Chris Densmore, archivist at SUNY Buffalo. He has written about the Indian School. >>> [log in to unmask] 03/26/00 11:11PM >>> I am trying to flesh out the structure of the reservation school system in New York State. Each reservation had a number of schools with the Thomas Indian School as the central institution. Operation of the schools fell under the Department of Public Instruction which became the Department of Education. I am looking for any information on secondary literature dealing specifically with New York. These were on-reservation schools and were under state control. I haven't had any luck to this point with secondary sources. Any assistance/suggestions are appreciated. Russell V.
