The U.S. Indian School Foundation held its annual reunion over the weekend for students and friends of the U.S. Industrial Indian School in Genoa, Nebraska.

The reunion drew just two actual students. The others who attended had relatives who went to the school or were just interested in attending.

The vocational school was open from 1884 to 1934. It drew students primarily from the Lakota, Winnebago, Omaha, Ponca, Pottowatomi tribes.
