===Education===
In 1875, the English trader Thomas Keam escorted Hopi leaders to meet President [[Chester A. Arthur]] in [[Washington D.C.]] ''Loololma,'' village chief of [[Oraibi]] at the time, was very impressed with Washington.<ref name="Whitely, Peter M. 1988" /> In 1887, a federal boarding school was established at [[Keams Canyon]] for Hopi children.<ref name="Dockstader, Frederick J. 1940" />

The [[Oraibi, Arizona|Oraibi]] people did not support the school and refused to send their children {{convert|35|mi|km}} from their villages. The Keams Canyon School was organized to teach the Hopi youth the ways of European-American civilization. It forced them to use English and give up their traditional ways.<ref name="Whitely, Peter M. 1988" /> The children were made to abandon their tribal identity and completely take on European-American culture.<ref>Pecina, Ron and Pecina, Bob.

Boys, who were also forced to cut their long hair, were taught European farming and carpentry skills. Girls were taught ironing, sewing, and "civilized" dining. The school also reinforced European-American religions. The [[American Baptist Home Mission Society]] made students attend services every morning and religious teachings during the week.<ref>Adams, David Wallace.

Seeing that few students were enrolled, they returned with federal troops who threatened to arrest the Hopi parents who refused to send their children to school, with Morgan forcibly taking children to fill the school.<ref name="Whitely, Peter M. 1988" />
