Government Indian School
Government Indian School, Government educational facility in Haines, United States
The Government Indian School building measures 71 feet in length and 30 feet in width, featuring two classrooms on the first floor and living quarters.
Built in 1906 by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, this educational institution operated until 1945 as the first 20th-century building in Haines.
The structure represents federal educational policies of the early 1900s, when Native American children received instruction aimed at cultural integration through government schools.
Located on First Avenue between Union Street and View Street, the building currently functions as the Chilkat Valley Preschool and welcomes visitors.
The building exhibits Cape Cod architectural style, presenting an uncommon design choice for structures in Southeast Alaska during the early twentieth century.
