It was originally opened back in the early 1900s around 1909 and remained open until 1983. The school was used to forcefully assimilate Native American children. It was home to members of both the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes and later opened up for other Native American students. Kids from first through eighth grade both girls and boys attended the school. All were forced to conform to mainstream white-English society.

Not sure if a single artist or multiple artists did all the murals at Concho Indian School

The children that were in the boarding school were forced to abandon their Native American traditions, beliefs, and even their native dress and language.

The penalties for not acting white were severe. The punishment these poor kids would receive was beyond abusive, it was bordering on cruelty and torture.

There are even stories of children who were murdered and buried on the school property. Some died at the hands of school administrators and workers, others died due to malnutrition and poor living conditions. While there's no concrete proof this happened, most believe the stories. Mediums and psychics seem to confirm it.

Absolutely EPIC! I have to make the trip to Concho and see these in person

The school was run like a military academy complete with drills, harsh discipline, and lots of manual labor and cores. The school had livestock, grew a lot of its own food, and got all of its labor from the children who lived there. This place wasn't just unpleasant, during its years of operation it grew increasingly violent and cruel. The children's treatment at Concho Indian Boarding School was horrific and inhumane.

The Concho Indian Boarding School has murals and graffiti both inside and out
