In Changing Images: The Art & Artists of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Linda F. Witmer recounts the evolution of works of art by the students at the institution from 1879 through 1890. In examining the artistic legacy of its students, she shows how their evocative drawings, sketches, watercolors, and crafts mirrored the school’s changing image of itself and the evolving role of Native American culture in the country. Her scholarly assessment will serve as a baseline for understanding the culture and attitude during this period in history. The book features several dozen images, reproduced in striking color, and includes historic photographs of classroom instruction, teachers, and students.
