 | | Carlisle Indian Industrial School, (1879 - 1918), in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the first federally supported school for Native Americans to be established off a reservation, was founded in 1879 by Richard Henry Pratt. |
 | | Of the 15,000+ Indian children who attended the Carlisle school over its 39 year life span, almost all returned to the reservation; at the time, Indians were not generally permitted to live off of their reservation. |
 | | In 1892, when the Carlisle Indian School fielded its first football team, no one could have predicted that, in less than ten years, the Indians would become one of the dominant college football powers in the nation. |
