Resisting the Mission; Filling the Silence

Shan Goshorn’s “Resisting the Mission; Filling the Silence” baskets show Native children who were taken from their families to attend the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. The first basket in each pair shows the children in their traditional dress upon arrival at the school; the second shows them some time later in uniform and with their hair cut short. Each basket is 21" x 6.75" x 6.75". NMAI purchase. 27/0219. Photo by NMAI Staff
