Dr. Janine Pease will be presenting on the Crow students who attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial Boarding School in the years from 1879 to 1918. She will share the story of their lives after returning home. The school was designed for maximum assimilation of Native cultures to white ways. This included western education, cutting of long hair, refusal to allow the speaking of Native languages, and the changing of your own name. In the words of school founder General Richard Henry Pratt, the idea was to "kill the Indian, but save the man." Crows experienced all these things, but the legacy was contradictory and bittersweet as many of them learned how to function in the white man's society in learning trades and later had a major impact on Crow history.
