EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1901, presents a striking image of the Carlisle Indian School Band assembled at their bandstand in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The image showcases a group of Native American boys dressed in military-style uniforms, each holding a brass musical instrument. The boys, with their serious expressions and focused gazes, exude a sense of discipline and dedication. The bandstand, adorned with American flags and surrounded by lush greenery, underscores the sense of community and pride. The photograph offers a glimpse into the educational and cultural assimilation efforts of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which aimed to "civilize" Native American children by teaching them European-American customs, skills, and values. The image also serves as a testament to the rich musical heritage of Native American communities and the enduring impact of music as a means of preserving culture and identity." "The photograph, titled 'Carlisle Indian School, Carlisle, Pa. Band posed at the bandstand, 1901,' is a poignant reminder of the complex history of Native American education and the resilience of Native American communities in the face of assimilation efforts. The image is a valuable historical artifact, showcasing both the fashion of the early 20th century and the musical traditions of Native American communities. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to Johnston's significant contribution to documenting American history and culture.
