The American sport and tradition of football has a long and violent history. One team that was never supposed to actually compete with the large Ivy League schools ended up not only winning, but also changing the game of football itself into something we would recognize as modern day football. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was built with the express purpose in mind to strip their native culture, traditions, and beliefs, in place for Anglo-American culture, traditions, and belief. It was made up of children as young as 6 and as old as 25. Sources: Archivists, Curators. “Records.” Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center, 2010, carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/.
