Join the Reading Public Museum as we partner with The Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge in presenting a special screening of Home from School: The Children of Carlisle as part of the Indigenous Film Festival 2022.  The Indigenous Film Festival 2022 is a celebration of Native American resilience and identity through Film. This festival will be offering documentary screenings and events across Berks County November 7^th-11^th, 2022.  

Home from School: The Children of Carlisle tells the story of repatriation of the remains 3 children who died while at the Carlisle Industrial School, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the 1880’s.  “Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.” This was the guiding principle that removed thousands of Native American children and placed them in Indian boarding schools. Among the many who died at Carlisle Indian Industrial School were three Northern Arapaho boys. Now, more than a century later, tribal members journey from Wyoming to Pennsylvania to help them finally come home.
