Survival and Resistance

Black and white photograph: Three rows of children outside the front of the Mohawk Chapel, with a row of priests in religious garb standing behind them. The female students are in uniforms and have scarf-like covers on their hair. They are sitting and standing in the middle of the rows. Boys in uniforms are located on both sides of the girls. Many of the children are holding papers and what appear to be bibles.
