This folder includes documents about Edwin Schanandore's time as a government employee (specifically in the Indian Service). The folder was compiled by Washington DC Bureau of Indian Affairs staff. Schanandore attended Carlisle and for almost two years worked as a baker (August 1892-June 1894). This folder though, focuses on the second half of his career as a disciplinarian, band master, and gardener at the Albuquerque Indian School (1908-1914) and the Flandreau Indian School (1914-1933).
Note: the documents are arranged in reverse chronological order.
The first PDF includes documents that summarize Schanandore's job postings and correspondence about his retirement in 1933. The second PDF focuses on his time at the Flandreau Indian School (including his shift from being disciplinarian and bandmaster, to band master and gardener). The third PDF covers Schanadore's early difficulties at Flandreau and the paperwork that arranged his transfer to that school in 1914. The fourth and final PDF focuses on Schanandore's work as disciplinarian and band master for the Albuquerque Indian School (including travel expenses for attending the Lake Mohonk Conference, Schanandore's requests for transfer, and efficiency reports).
