Interior calls for tribal input as it prepares report on Indigenous boarding schools

Consultation hearings with tribes scheduled for November.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) The 150 acre Panguitch Research Farm is the former location of the Panguitch Boarding School for mostly the Kaibab and Shivwitz bands of the Paiute Indian Tribe that operated from 1904 to 1909. In 1909, the property once owned by the U. S. government was transferred to the state of Utah where the land was used for experimental high-altitude farming. Today, it sits mostly vacant, except for the dilapidated lone brick building that dates back to the 1900's.
