Background is highly POV
The Background section is unbalanced and has strong paternalistic POV, and leaves a lot of questions in my mind. And looking online, I can only find scant information the school put out there and not much else. So, I don't even know how to make this section be more balanced. If possible, I would like to see these questions answered:
"…without homes or land….", now, was it that their Usual and Accustomed Places were ceded to the US without a provision to reserve land by the Northern Cheyenne? Or where the White population illegally homesteadding and displacing the Northern Cheyenne?
What was the original purpose of the school? Was it really education? Or was it for the indoctrination of Whiteist propaganda as a tool of assimilation of the Northern Cheyenne children?
Why was site selected? Was it along a known buffalo trail in the backdrop of aggressive US and Canadian buffalo "thinning" campaign? Or was the location not considered prime farmland so it was cheap/undervalued?
Why was the Roman Catholic Church, and not the Methodists or Lutherans as all three had strong presence in Montana, selected to operate the school?
How had the American Indian Wars played out in Montana had an effect on the cultural climate in establishing this school?
When the school was established, was there backlash from the Northern Cheyenne leadership? Parents?
Once the school was established, were the Northern Cheyenne children rounded up by local posses or by US Army and forcibly sent to this school? Or was it by free-will? Or, did the Bureau of Indian Affairs "incentivise" the parents to send their children to school?
How much was the Roman Catholic Church being paid by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to contractually operate this school? If contracted, for how much? And, when did the contract end?
