EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Carlisle Indian School, Carlisle, Pa. Class in session, 1901," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, located in Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States. Established in 1879, the school was one of the earliest off-reservation boarding schools for Native American children, with the goal of assimilating them into American culture. In this image, we see a group of boys and girls seated in a classroom, intently focused on their studies. The boys, dressed in collared shirts and trousers, sit at desks with their hands folded in their laps, demonstrating obedience and attentiveness. The girls, dressed in simple dresses, sit at their desks with textbooks and pencils in hand, also engrossed in their lessons. The teacher, likely a female educator, stands at the front of the room, observing the students and ensuring they remain focused. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the legacy of Native American education in the United States during the early 20th century. It highlights the importance of education in shaping the future of these children, who were being taught to adapt to a new way of life outside of their traditional communities. The image is a valuable historical artifact, now held in the Library of Congress, and serves as a testament to the rich heritage and resilience of Native American communities in the face of colonization and assimilation efforts.
