For module 3 the web resource I decided to look at was Carlisle Indian Industrial School. When I clicked on the line it actually took me to Wikipedia. The Wikipedia site actually list a lot of information about the school. I says that the school was the flagship Indian boarding school in the United States from 1879 through 1918. It was also known as part of the US army War College.
The school was founded in 1879 by Captain Richard henry Pratt. He ran the school which was the 1st Native American school to be federally funded and off the reservation.
Carlisle became the model for 26 Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding schools in 15 states and territories, and hundreds of private boarding schools sponsored by religious denominations. It states that the school is now a land mark and can be visited.
Carlisle and similar schools have been controversial because many Native Americans say that these forced children to leave their families at young ages, and to give up their own cultures, languages, religion and even their names, doing psychological damage to generations. Since the 1970s, Native American nations have taken back control of the education of their children and started their own schools and colleges
I could go on and on from the website it has a ton of links and information about the school and everything connected to the schools. I would recommend this site to anyone wanting to learn any information about the school.
