EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determination and spirit of a young Native American boy named Haskell, standing proudly in his baseball uniform from the Haskell Institute, established in Lawrence, Kansas in 1884. The image, dated around 1902, depicts Haskell in a classic baseball stance, holding a baseball in his right hand and wearing a catcher's mitt on his left. A catcher's mask lies at his feet, suggesting that he may have been practicing his catching skills. The Haskell Institute was one of the earliest off-reservation Indian boarding schools in the United States, and baseball was just one of many activities offered to students to promote assimilation and acculturation. Baseball became a popular sport among Native American students, and Haskell's team was known for its strong performance against other schools. Despite the challenging circumstances of living away from their families and adapting to a new way of life, Native American students like Haskell found solace and joy in sports like baseball. This photograph is a testament to their resilience, athleticism, and the importance of preserving their cultural heritage through participation in American pastimes.
