S23E05 Home From School: The Children of Carlisle

The motto “Kill the Indian in him, and save the man” fueled the removal of countless Native American children to boarding schools. Among the tragic stories from Carlisle Indian Industrial School are three Northern Arapaho boys who perished there. Over a hundred years later, members of their tribe travel from Wyoming to Pennsylvania to honor their memory and bring them home at last.
