More than 7,800 children from 140 Tribes went to the Carlisle School from 1879 to 1918. The National Park Service will collaborate with families, affiliated Tribal Nations, the US Army, historians, and partners to develop resources and share the story of the children, families, and communities impacted by Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School.
