SUMMARY: The Office of Army Cemeteries (OAC) is honoring the requests of the family members to disinter the human remains of 8 Native American students from the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The decedent names are: Raleigh James from the Washoe tribe, Lottie Sireech from the Ute tribe, Wade Ayres from the Catawba tribe, Anatasia Achwak (Ashowak) and Anna Vereskin from the Alaskan (Aleut) tribe, Frank Green and Paul Wheelock from the Oneida tribe and Ellen Macy from the Umqua tribe. These students died between 1880 and 1910 while attending the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. OAC has received written requests for disinterment from the closest living descendent of each of the 8 individuals. OAC will disinter and facilitate the transport and reinternment of the remains to private cemeteries chosen by the families at government expense. This disinterment will be conducted under the authority of Army Regulation 290-5, in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation (NAGPRA) savings clauses at 25 U.S. Code § 3009. Individually marked graves located within the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery do not constitute “holdings or collections” of the Army (§ 3003(a)) nor does NAGPRA (§ 3002) require the Army to engage in the intentional excavation or exhumation of a grave.
