Native American Influence on Sports

In the play, A Moon In Two Windows written by Kiowa author N. Scott Momaday, he talks about the Carlisle Indian School where Native American children were sent to be stripped of their heritage and formed to fit in the mold of a “proper American.” This project will look into the influential and under-appreciated role football played in the lives of the children at the school, and the way Carlisle football shaped the game of football today.
