EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1901, depicts a lively elementary school class at the United States Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Established in 1879 under US governmental authority, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School aimed to assimilate Native American children into white American culture. In this image, students, both boys and girls, dressed in typical turn-of-the-century attire, including pinafores and collared shirts, are engaged in a botany lesson. The classroom setting is adorned with blackboards and filled with botanical specimens, adding an educational and scientific touch to the scene. The contrast between the students' traditional clothing and the modern classroom setting highlights the complex and controversial history of Native American education during this era. The photograph, now part of the Library of Congress collection, serves as an important reminder of the rich heritage and resilience of indigenous peoples in America.
