Celebrating Indigenous Brilliance: Carlisle, PA & Beyond.
Amplifying Indigenous Narratives
Join Dr. Amanda Cheromiah, Dr. Joannie Suina, and Dr. Elizabeth Rule as they embark on a profound exploration of Carlisle, PA—a site deeply etched in the memories of Indigenous Peoples and communities. In this compelling session, the storytellers will share their unique perspectives on the historical and cultural significance of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which operated from 1879 to 1918. Situated just a mile from Dickinson College, the boarding school is a poignant reminder of the cultural eradication efforts aimed at Indigenous peoples, yet it also serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and strength of Indigenous Peoples that continue to thrive today.
