EDITORS COMMENTS
The chromolithograph print titled "Leaving home for the Carlisle Indian School" captures a poignant moment in history. Published in 1911 by Boston, Prang & Co. , it portrays a Navajo family bidding farewell to their son as he embarks on his journey to the Carlisle Indian School. The image showcases a traditional Navajo house, with the family gathered inside, expressing a mix of emotions. The composition evokes feelings of sadness and melancholy, highlighting the impact of colonialism and cultural assimilation on indigenous peoples. The parents' faces reveal their unhappiness and forlornness as they say goodbye to their child, emphasizing the emotional toll this separation takes on families. This artwork serves as a powerful representation of early twentieth-century education practices and its effects on Native American communities. It sheds light on the struggles faced by children who were sent away from their homes to attend these schools, often forced to abandon their cultural heritage. Through this chromolitho print, Elbridge Ayer Burbank skillfully captures not only the physical departure but also conveys deep-seated emotions experienced by both parents and children during this period of forced assimilation. It stands as an important reminder of our shared history and prompts reflection upon past injustices inflicted upon indigenous peoples in North America.
