CARLISLE, Pennsylvania – The U.S. Army finalized its sixth disinterment project, returning four Native American children to their families. These children died after being sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School and were buried there more than 100 years ago.
The Office of Army Cemeteries (OAC) presented their findings on September 21 from the multi-phase disinterment project with archaeological and anthropological expertise from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The OAC team’s findings of the human remains found in the gravesites assigned to Beau Neal (Northern Arapaho), Launy Shorty (Blackfeet), Amos Lafromboise (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate) and Edward Upright (Spirit Lake) were biologically consistent with the information contained in their student and burial location records.
