Book excerpt: This work provides a glimpse of psychiatric care given to the mentally unstable during the early 1900s explaining how the medical officers gave internal care in those times when society was far more rigid about these illnesses than in the present times. It presents an accurate account of all the facilities provided to the patients, the tasks they were assigned, and its effect on their mental health and overall functioning. These chores mainly included indulging the patients in farming, cultivation, etc. The subject of this report deals with employment as a means of treating and caring for the mentally ill in need of help, and the colony here is an instrument of finding practical and profitable work for the patients. Colony treatment means establishing buildings at some distance from the central hospital and admitting psychiatric patients there to be under the control and management of the hospital officers.

Book excerpt: Begun as a pork-barrel project by the federal government in the early 1900s, the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians (also known as the Hiawatha Insane Asylum) quickly became a dumping ground for inconvenient Indians. The federal institution in Canton, South Dakota, deprived many Native patients of their freedom without genuine cause, often requiring only the signature of a reservation agent. Only nine Native patients in the asylum’s history were committed by court order. Without interpreters, mental evaluations, or therapeutic programs, few patients recovered. But who cared about Indians in South Dakota? After three decades of complacency, both the superintendent and the city of Canton were surprised to discover that someone did care, and that a bitter fight to shut the asylum down was about to begin. In this disturbing tale, Carla Joinson unravels the question of why this institution persisted for so many years. She also investigates the people who allowed Canton Asylum’s mismanagement to reach such staggering proportions and asks why its administrators and staff were so indifferent to the misery experienced by their patients. Vanished in Hiawatha is the harrowing tale of the mistreatment of Native American patients at a notorious asylum whose history helps us to understand the broader mistreatment of Native peoples under forced federal assimilation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
