The Carlisle Indian Industrial School

During a time when the United States government was willing to spend $1 million to eradicate a single Indian tribe out west, Captain Richard Henry Pratt established the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Pratt's idea was to "save" native children by turning indigenous peoples into white men and women. The most well-known of the boarding schools for Indian children was opened in 1879 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and operated for nearly 30 years. This presentation wishes to explore the school's plan to "Kill the Indian, save the Man." Matthew March, Education Curator of the Cumberland County Historical Society, will explore what it means to be stripped of your cultural heritage through forced assimilation, as he recounts the history of the school and stories of the children there.
