Carlisle Indian School Grounds Attraction Details
Carlisle Indian School Grounds
http://home.epix.net
The Carlisle Indian School was founded by Richard Henry Pratt in 1879. Pratt was driven by a strong desire to see the Indian become an imitation of the white man. School life was modeled after military life. Uniforms were issued for the boys, the girls dressed in Victorian-style dresses. Shoes were required, as no moccasins were allowed. The boys and girls were organized into companies with officers who took charge of drill. The children marched to and from their classes, and to the dining hall for meals. No one was allowed to speak their native tongue. Pratt is often quoted as saying "Kill the Indian, save the man." The Carlisle Indian School had over 10,000 students in its 39 years of operation. Most of them returned to the reservations and their families. This important history is kept alive today, for we are all affected by it in some way. Please contact Barbra Landis at blandis@epix.net for tour information.
