Carlisle Indian Industrial School PA252 |
|
|
This school was the model for a nation-wide system of boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indians into mainstream culture. Over 10,000 indigenous children attended the school between 1879 and 1918. Despite idealistic beginnings, the school left a mixed and lasting legacy, creating opportunity for some students and conflicted identities for others. In this cemetery are 186 graves of students who died while at Carlisle.
North side of Claremont Road, 50 feet East of the Carlisle Barracks, Carlisle Barracks entrance. Cumberland County Pennsylvania.
