Many of the religious organizations had schools in the Nations. My Mother attended OPC (Oklahoma Presbyterian College) and they had a school for Choctaw young people in association with their College whereby student teachers could do their practice teaching. This school was located in Durant, I.T., later, of course, Oklahoma. There was, as has been previously stated, Wheelock Academy, Jones Academy, Spurlock and about a half-dozen more such institutions. Also there was, for example, Eufaula Boarding School and several others that were near, but not necessarily IN the Choctaw Nation, but were in the other Nations, that accepted ANY child as long as they were Native Americans ( for example the Eufaula Boarding School was in the Creek Nation, but within about 9 miles of the Choctaw Nation and was also, if I'm not mistaken, a Presbyt! erian institution. My first little girlfriend, when I was a kid growind up in Eufaula, was a resident at the Boarding School. ). If you can give me a time frame, ect., I may be able to assist you more in your search.
