Sherman Indian Museum Website The Sherman Indian High School was one of several off-reservation boarding schools opened by the United States government in the late 1800's.  The intention of these schools was to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream society. The Sherman Indian Museum, located on the Sherman Indian High School grounds in Riverside, California, not only houses traditional Native American collections, it preserves more than a century of the school's student body history, heritage and pride.  (description taken from the website linked above) The Sherman Names Project Student Archives: A searchable index of names of the many students attending Sherman Indian Boarding School from 1890 to 1939.
