Sherman
School Cemetery
This
school was founded by the United States Government to assimilate Native
Americans into the
mainstream society. Because
of Bureau
policies, students did not return home for several years, many
of whom died and were buried in the school
cemetery.
May 3rd marks an old tradition amongst the local tribes where
many local reservations decorate their cemeteries with flowers
and replace old crosses. Sherman Indian High School designates
this as Indian Flower Day

Perris Indian School was established in 1892. This was the first
