Chester County is the ancestral home of the Lenape people, who occupied this land for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. We acknowledge, honor, and respect the past, present, and future of the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this land, whose presence continues in the region due to their resilience in the face of colonization.
Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty."
Heinmot Tooyalaket ( Chief Joseph), Nez Perce Leader
"If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace... Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The Earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

1879-Carlisle Indian Industrial School opened in Pa
Carlisle Indian Industrial School was the First 1st Government Run school.
Students were forced to cut their hair, change their names, stop speaking their Native languages, convert to Christianity, and were traumatized by corporal punishment, solitary confinement, neglect, and abuse.

Carlisle, Pa
Create and build a museum and heritage center near the original school site to share the far-reaching impact of Carlisle Carlisle Indian Industrial School.
Parents lost children. Tribes lost members of their community and tribal traditions. That trauma has a long-lasting impact. Native people have been living that reality for generations.
Exposure to ACES, changes how adults parent their own children, thus perpetuating a cycle.
