EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a moment of youthful joy and cultural assimilation at the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The image showcases a group of female students engrossed in a game of croquet on the school's lush lawn. The girls, representing various Native American tribes such as Lakota, are seen embracing their new surroundings while still holding onto their heritage. This photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston beautifully encapsulates the concept of acculturation during this era. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these young women navigating between two worlds - that of their ancestral roots and the emerging American society they find themselves immersed in. They embody resilience and adaptability as they engage with each other amidst towering trees. Frances Benjamin Johnston's skillful composition captures not only the physical setting but also reveals glimpses into each girl's individual personality. Their determined expressions convey determination and ambition for education within an environment that aimed to "Americanize" them. This powerful image serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by Native Americans during this period and their unwavering spirit to forge ahead despite adversity. It is a testament to how education became instrumental in shaping identities and fostering unity among diverse cultures at boarding schools like Carlisle Indian School.
