Book Description:

The Carlisle Indian School (1879-1918) was an audacious educational experiment. Capt. Richard Henry Pratt persuaded the federal government that training Native children to accept the white man's ways and values would be more efficient than fighting deadly battles. This title offers varied perspectives on the school by interweaving the voices of students' descendants, poets, and activists with cutting-edge research by Native and non-Native scholars.
