Скачать или смотреть Honoring History: The Presbyterian School for Indian Girls Project at UTulsa

The University of Tulsa traces its roots to the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls (PSIG), a small on-reservation boarding school that opened in 1882 in Muskogee, Indian Territory.

In 1894, PSIG was renamed Henry Kendall College and, in 1907, relocated to Tulsa, where it was later rechartered as The University of Tulsa. Until recently, little was known about students who attended the school.

But in 2020, UTulsa faculty and researchers set out to learn more about the students and their experiences by launching the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls Project. All work is done in partnership with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Historic and Cultural Preservation Department.

The PSIG Project team has published 16 biographies of students who attended the school or were affiliated with it, and we look forward to the ongoing findings surrounding this important historical research. For more information, visit PSIGProject.org
