About Stewart Indian School Cultural Center   

The Stewart Indian School Cultural Center opened in 2020 to interpret and tell the history of the site as a former federal boarding school for Native children. Over 200 tribal nations were represented at Stewart during its years of operation from 1890-1980. This is now a community space for healing through research, exhibitions, art, and storytelling.  For more information visit https://stewartindianschool.com.
