The lost ones
\"Despite her father's warnings that their tribe is always in danger, Casita, a ten-year-old Lipan Apache girl, has led a relatively peaceful life with her tribe in Mexico, doing her daily chores and practicing for her upcoming Changing Woman ceremony, in which she will officially become a woman of the tribe. But the peace is shattered when the U.S. Cavalry invades and brutally slaughters her people. Casita and her younger brother survive the attack, but are taken captive and sent to the Carlisle Indian School, a Pennsylvania boarding school that specializes in assimilating Native Americans into white American culture. Casita grieves for her lost family as she struggles to find a way to maintain her identity as a Lipan Apache and survive at the school. Includes author's note and bibliography.\"--Provided by publisher..

Carlisle Indian Industrial School
The Carlisle Indian School (1879-1918) was an audacious educational experiment. Capt. Richard Henry Pratt, the school's founder and first superintendent, persuaded the federal government that training Native children to accept the white man's ways and values would be more efficient than fighting deadly battles. The result was that the last Indian war would be waged against Native children in the classroom.More than 10,500 children from virtually every Native nation in the United States were taken from their homes and transported to Pennsylvania. Carlisle provided a blueprint for the federal Indian school system that was established across the United States and served as a model for many residential schools in Canada. The Carlisle experiment initiated patterns of dislocation and rupture far deeper and more profound and enduring than its initiators ever grasped.Carlisle Indian Industrial Schooloffers varied perspectives on the school by interweaving the voices of students' descendants, poets, and activists with cutting-edge research by Native and non-Native scholars. These contributions reveal the continuing impact and vitality of historical and collective memory, as well as the complex and enduring legacies of a school that still touches the lives of many Native Americans.

Writing Their Bodies
Between 1879 and 1918, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School housed
over 10,000 students and served as a prototype for boarding schools
on and off reservations across the continent. Writing Their
Bodies analyzes pedagogical philosophies and curricular
materials through the perspective of written and visual student
texts created during the school's first three-year term. Using
archival and decolonizing methodologies, Sarah Klotz historicizes
remedial literacy education and proposes new ways of reading
Indigenous rhetorics to expand what we know about the Native
American textual tradition. This approach tracks the relationship
between curriculum and resistance and enumerates an
anti-assimilationist methodology for teachers and scholars of
writing in contemporary classrooms. From the Carlisle archive
emerges the concept of a rhetoric of relations, a set of Native
American communicative practices that circulates in processes of
intercultural interpretation and world-making. Klotz explores how
embodied and material practices allowed Indigenous rhetors to
maintain their cultural identities in the off-reservation boarding
school system and critiques the settler fantasy of benevolence that
propels assimilationist models of English education. Writing
Their Bodies moves beyond language and literacy education
where educators standardize and limit their students' means of
communication and describes the extraordinary expressive
repositories that Indigenous rhetors draw upon to survive, persist,
and build futures in colonial institutions of education.

Teaching empire : native Americans, Filipinos, and U.S. imperial education, 1879-1918
\"In The Teachers' Dilemma, Elisabeth Eittreim juxtaposes the Carlisle boarding school for Native Americans and the colonial school system in the Philippines to explore American attempts to assimilate colonized peoples through education. Eittreim focuses on the role of teachers, whose personal beliefs and circumstances often took precedence over the government's larger mission. Ultimately, she argues that the extent to which empire was shaped in the schoolhouse was heavily dependent on the successes and failures of the individual teachers on the front lines of imperial education\"-- Provided by publisher.

To Show What an Indian Can Do
To Show What an Indian Can Do explores the history of sports programs at Native American boarding schools and, drawing on the recollections of former students, describes the importance of competitive sport in their lives. John Bloom focuses on the students who did not typically go on to greater athletic glory but who found in sports something otherwise denied them at boarding school: a sense of community, accomplishment, and dignity.

A Critical Review of Ann Rinaldi's \My Heart Is on the Ground\: The Diary of Nannie Little Rose, a Sioux Girl
This collaborative review finds much to criticize in this fictional portrayal of the experiences of a young girl at the Carlisle Indian School, including a lack of clarity about the fictional nature of the story. Stereotyping and historical inaccuracies make this book add to the great body of misinformation about Native-American life in the United States and Canada. (SLD)
