18. Charlie Bell and Big Head Monroe with their
children, Date Unknown (St. Michael’s Mission)
 Early
photographs of young children often show the changes that their
culture was undergoing.
Well, they were trying to convert us, drop our language and
speak straight English and everything we did, you know, from table
manners to cleaning floors; and everything that we didn’t
do at home, see, we learned that here...and I believe they did
a good job. (Arnold Headly)
When he went to the dormitory and saw his high bed it looked
dangerous to him. He started putting his bedding down on the floor....The
disciplinarian—though Queechen did not know what to call
him—came in and told him, crossly, what to do. He had no
idea what the man was saying but knew from his voice that he was
mad. (Rupert Weeks)
