The Puyallup Indian School (later named Cushman Indian School) was a government Indian boarding school in Washington State that ran from 1860[1] to July 1, 1920.[2] A notable student that attended was Henry Sicade, who was the great-nephew of Leschi (Nisqually) and the grandson of Chief Stann of the Puyallup Tribe.[3] Due to his hardships at the school, he went on to help start the Fife Public Schools as an alternative education for native children in the area.[4]
