As white settlers moved west in the late 1800s and took over Native American lands, the U.S. government thought that Native American children should attend schools to learn the "white man's way." In 1879, 84 Sioux boys and girls were the first children to attend Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, the first school of its kind. This book lets you take a look at what an Indian school was like and how young students felt about going there.
