Summary:
This collection contains a non-native teacher's diary and class rosters while working at Round Valley, Puyallup, and Cushman Indian Boarding Schools from 1900-1912.
Scope and Contents:
This collection contains a non-native teacher's diary, most likely belonging to Annie I. Garber or her sister, Ollie Edna Garber. There are 13 pages of diary entries at the front with entries from August 1, 1903 to February 11, 1905. The teacher recorded the Americanized name, degree of Indian blood, community affiliation, and age of each child in her class.

Class rosters from Round Valley Indian School are on pages 149-159, for school years 1900-1902. Students are listed as being from the Little Lake Pomo, Yuki, Konkow (Concow), Nomlaki, Wailaki, Pit River, and Whilkut (Redwood) communities.

Rosters from the Puyallup Indian School are on pages 160-182, for school years 1903-1909. The school's name changed to Cushman Indian school (also known as Cushman Trade School) in 1910. Rosters from the Cushman Indian School are on pages 183-185, for school years 1910-1911. The rest of the book in blank. Students are listed as being from the Skokomish, Klallam, Puyallup, Chehalis, Nisqually, Squaxin, Port Gamble, Port Madison, Port Bexley, Quinault, Snohomish, Skagit, Suquamish, Duwamish, Sammamish, Yakama and Native Village of Georgetown (descendents are tied to Yup'ik and Tanaina today) communities.

In addition to the diary, there are two letters, a list of Garber family birthdays, and a tally of Indigenous students.
Arrangement:
Materials are arranged in one series.
Round Valley Indian School:
Round Valley Indian School was open from 1860 until 1924 in Covelo, California. Children from many Native American communities in Northern California were forced to attend the school during the Bureau of Indian Affairs attempts to wipe out Indigenous traditions.
Puyallup Indian School:
Puyallup Indian School in Tacoma, Washington was open from 1857 until 1920. Students came from Native American communities in the Northwest United States. School attendance varied widely from year to year due to frequent epidemics. In 1910, the school was renamed Cushman Indian School and focused more on trade skills.
Provenance:
Donated by Amity Parks, 2021.
