Carlisle Indian Industrial School

Attachment Description

Native children at the United States Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1890. For more than a century, Native students’ long hair was routinely sheared at boarding schools. The hair cutting, part of an attempt to assimilate the students into white culture, violated Native religious and cultural beliefs, Native leaders say. Public domain photo
