The remains recovered however were inconsistent with that of an approximately 17\u201318-year-old male and instead found to be that of an approximately 16\u201322-year-old female. \r\n<P><\/P>The unknown remains were reinterred in a dignified ceremony on Saturday, September 15 with the caring assistance and compassion of the Puyallup family. The Army is committed to reviewing all available resources and seeking new information that may help us identify any possible error that led to this anomaly so we can make the appropriate effort to return Edward to his family and the Puyallup Tribe.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\n\u201cThe Army is truly saddened we were unable to return Eddie to his family this year,\u201d said Karen Durham-Aguilera, Executive Director, Office of Army Cemeteries and Arlington National Cemetery.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\n\u201cWe remain honored to have had the opportunity to work with these Native American families and to help them find closure,&#8221; said Durham-Aguilera. &#8220;On behalf of my team, I would like to thank all of the families for placing their trust in us throughout this journey in returning their children home.\u201d\r\n<P><\/P><div class=\"mt-1 mb-1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8411603009680747\" data-ad-slot=\"6394965691\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div><p><\/p>\r\nIn 1879, Carlisle Barracks became the <a href=https:\/\/carlisleindianschoolproject.com\/>site of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School<\/a>, operated by the Department of the Interior until 1918.
