Larry, Thanks for posting the article on the boarding school lawsuit. It's such a shame that issues such as this are buried on the internet and NEVER mentioned on the national news or covered by mainstream media. The general public has no clue about any of this and it's never taught or discussed in the schools. I have many close friends and relatives who shared many of the same experiences and most still cannot talk about what happened to them while they were being educated. I realize this might be alittle off subject but I cannot ignore this whenever i read about it. Since this list is NA/Metis genealogy I cringe whenever I see an ancestors education listed at a boarding school. I better shut up before I get myself into trouble.

I've been hanging on to this information and made a notebook all of it's own. I keep thinking.... what if. But the John Sundown Denny is NOT my John - darn. I have information on his family/descendants. They could be distant cousins for all I know... but the Abraham Denny is very intriguing. I'm wondering if they could be the one and the same individual. Another researcher who has these lines doesn't have much info on this Abraham Denny - ??? thanks again for the reminder, Janice ______________________________ > ATTACHMENT part 3 message/rfc822 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 01:42:20 -0600 From: "Larry Friend" To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NISHNAWBE] Hampton Indian School Hi All http://www.twofrog.com/hampton.html Lots of names and some spouses as well! http://www.twofrog.com/8dec02.txt ( This man is suing!

Baxter spoke Ojibway and didn't understand a word of English.

Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.
