The book focuses on Thorpe and his teammates from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Research other Indigenous athletes, and write an essay about how one of them (or their team) has impacted American culture.
What are some of the stories that former Carlisle school students tell about their time at the school? How do these compare with Sheinkin’s description of Thorpe’s experiences in the book?
