Boarding School Voices is both an anthology of mostly unpublished
writing by former students of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School
and a study of that writing. The boarding schools' ethnocidal
practices have become a metaphor for the worst evils of
colonialism, a specifiable source for the ills that beset Native
communities today. But the fuller story is one not only of
suffering and pain, loss and abjection, but also of ingenious
agency, creative syntheses, and unimagined adaptations. Although
tragic for many students, for others the Carlisle experience led to
positive outcomes in their lives. Some published short pieces in
the Carlisle newspapers and others sent letters and photos to the
school over the years. Arnold Krupat transcribes selections from
the letters of these former students literally and unedited,
emphasizing their evocative language and what they tell of
themselves and their home communities, and the perspectives they
offer on a wider American world. Their sense of themselves and
their worldview provide detailed insights into what was abstractly
and vaguely referred to as "the Indian question." These former
students were the oxymoron Carlisle superintendent Richard Henry
Pratt could not imagine and never comprehended: they were Carlisle
Indians.
