Ivy "Bee" O. Hendricks, 1894-1986, began teaching at the Albuquerque Indian School ca. 1920. Bee was displaying Jr. Red Cross paintings when a representative from the Jr. Red Cross saw the display and offered her a job. The point of the Jr. Red Cross was to create communication among children throughout the world. Bee traveled for the Jr. Red Cross and was responsible for all of the Indian Schools west of the Mississippi. When the Jr. Red Cross disbanded, Bee began working for the American Red Cross. Bee Hendricks was one of the first Anglo women to go into the Grand Canyon. She bagan teaching at the Tuba City Indian Boarding School (n.d.). There were no text books at the school at that time, so Bee used the Sears-Roebuck catalog to teach the students. Because students were not allowed to use Native languages in the schools, Bee took the students outside and taught by having them say the Navajo word for an object and then she said the English word. Box 1 contains publications; box 2 contains photographic prints; box 3 contains Indian School students' artwork.

3 boxes.
