Carlisle Indian School Project - Jim Gerencser
Set in the Lincoln Indian Training School in Minnesota, This Tender Land explores the little-known existence of the Native American boarding schools. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School, right in our backyard in Carlisle, was the first government-run Native American boarding school in the country. Learn more about this overlooked piece of history by joining us today when Dickinson College Library Archivist Jim Gerencser joins us by Zoom to share and answer questions about the college’s research and materials collected from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. http://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu
