Army to return remains of 19 Indigenous children from Carlisle cemetery

The U.S. Army will recover the remains of 19 Indigenous children buried at the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School, honoring requests from the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. The children, who died between 1880 and 1910, will be reburied in locations chosen by their families. The move follows ongoing efforts to address the legacy of federally funded Indian boarding schools, where thousands of Native children endured forced assimilation.
