4:30 - 6:45 pm (EDT) UU102 - Film screening of 鈥淗ome from School: The Children of Carlisle鈥 (2021). A conversation will follow facilitated by Charlotte Kennedy.
In the late 19th century, tens of thousands of Native American children were removed from their families and tribal homelands to boarding schools where they were stripped of their languages, traditions, and culture, in the name of assimilation. It is a painful era for Indigenous peoples across the country not often covered in U.S. history books. The documentary 鈥淗ome From School: The Children of Carlisle鈥 dives into the history of Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the first off-reservation government-funded boarding school for Native American children. The film chronicles the modern-day journey of Northern Arapaho tribal members seeking to recover the remains of Arapaho children more than 100 years after they fell mortally ill and were buried on the school grounds.
