The remains and stories of Native American students are being reclaimed from a Pennsylvania cemetery

CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — The Carlisle Indian Industrial School had not yet held its first class when Matavito Horse and Leah Road Traveler were taken there in October 1879, drafted into the U.S. government’s campaign to erase Native American tribes by wiping their children's identities.

A few years later, Matavito, a Cheyenne boy, and Leah, an Arapaho girl, were dead.
