The federally funded Intermountain Indian School opened in 1950 in the remodeled buildings from the Bushnell Army Hospital in Brigham City. Until the late 1970s, the school was a boarding school for Navajo children, bused from Arizona to spend the school year from elementary school to high school. The school educated students from approximately 100 different tribes as the Intermountain Inter-Tribal School until the school closed in 1984.
The collection includes 19 oral histories of individuals who worked at and attended the Intermountain Indian School. The collection is arranged alphabetically by interviewee's last name. Each entry identifies the individual's relationship with the school. Box 2 includes the audiocassette recordings of the oral history interviews and is arranged alphabetically by interviewee's last name.
