Join Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center team member Lily Sweeney for an overview of the Congressional investigation of the Carlisle Indian School in spring of 1914. This talk will outline the events of the investigation, what may have caused it, and the grievances raised or denounced by school staff, students, government officials, and local townspeople. Such grievances included poor quality and quantity of food, arbitrary expulsion, and the occurrence of student sexual activity.
