CARLISLE 200
OPENING NIGHT DOCUMENTARY SHORTS PROGRAM - This ___ Brought Us Together
Cyclists, Guarina Lopez (Pascua Yaqui) and Tsinnijinnie Russell (Diné) embark on a 200-mile prayer ride from Washington, D.C. to the cemetery at the Carlisle Indian Boarding School. They ride to honor and remember the 186-189 child ancestors who are known to have been buried there. They ride to bring attention to the dark history of the Indian boarding school system and serve as a call for the approximately 138 children who continue to await their returns home.
