The Carlisle Indian Industrial School (CIIS) operated in
Carlisle, Penna. from 1879 to 1918. During that time,7,800+
students attended this first non-reservation,
co-educational, government funded boarding school for Native
Americans. Records relating to the school are housed in the
National Archives (NARS Record Group 75, File Number 1327) and some
documents also held in the Cumberland County Historical Sociey
(CCHS), Carlisle PA.
Pupils from virtually every recognized Native American Nations
attended Carlisle. The following primary source information
pertains only to pupils listed from the Quapaw Nation.
The information we have relied upon was generated in the
1880s-1920s and some of it may be inaccurate (ie: birthdates, ages,
blood quantum, and spelling of names). We have chosen to upload it
as it was recorded at the time. Where possible we have included
references to any known photographs.
While we are aware that some of this information deals with
personal or family history, with the recent opening of the National
Archive records under the 75 year Privacy Rule, we thought it
important to make them available. Similar information exists for a
number of other Nations, as well as individuals.
These brief biographies were compiled by Genevieve Bell and
Barbara Landis in 1995.
