To move forward they must heal the past…
In 2017, a delegation of Northern Arapaho tribal members traveled from Wyoming to Carlisle, PA to retrieve remains of three children who died at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in the 1880s. Take a journey into the troubled history of Indian boarding schools and a quest to heal generational wounds.
Join WITF, the Cumberland County Historical Society, and Dickinson College for a special premiere screening event and community conversation around the new Independent Lens/Caldera Productions film Home From School: The Children of Carlisle November 18th at 6:30pm at the Carlisle Theatre.
