Thomas Henry, 1960., 1960

 Item — Box: PCA 303
Identifier: ASL-P303-23

Scope and Contents

Son of Matthew, grandson of Chief Henry. In 1961 or 1962, Thomas participated in a relocation program sponsored I believe by the BIA [Bureau of Indian Affairs]. He went first to Chicago. I do not believe this was a successful program. He had a brother named Silas.

Biographical / Historical

Slides #15 – 38 are of family groups around Huslia in September of 1962. The young people who were the first group of students to go to high school were getting ready to leave town and we wanted pictures of them with their families so everyone could have a copy of the photos. This was a very traumatic as well as exciting time for the families. Life would never be the same for any of them and they knew it. It was a time of mourning for many parents. I have arranged the families alphabetically as the most useful way to organize them.
