Our November episode of GirlSpeak honors US National Native American Heritage Month through exploring girls' letters who attended Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School. Thousands of children were forced to attend these schools across North America for over 100 years. It is a heart-breaking and devastating history that is still very much alive today in the memories of many adults.
Thank you to the Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition for making these records available.
To learn more, here are the full digitized collection of records from the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center.
