The Red Man
was a monthly magazine published by the U.S. Indian School and the Carlisle Indian Press.
“An Illustrated Magazine Printed by Indians”.
This was a high quality publication - very attractively decorated and presented publication and includes many photos.
Printed on thick quality paper.
As is often the case, the actual contents of this issue of the rare magazine, though fascinating on a controversial topic of the day are perhaps not even the most interesting and important thing here . . .
The actual magazine as well as the publisher, The Carlisle Indian Press, are stories in themselves.
For those who might be interested, I have provided a little bit of background from the web to give insight – there is much more and there is actually a book written about this subject I saw:
Individuality Incorporated:
Indians and the Multicultural Modern
by Joel Pfister.
But first, this issue’s contents:
This is the “
Liquor Suppression Number
”
The Greatest Present Menace to the American Indian . . . “Let us save the American Indian from the curse of whiskey . . .”
A collection of articles/essays by luminaries of the government agencies, judges and politicians and others . . .
I show you the Table of Contents above which shows the authors and subjects of the articles . . .
And, many examples of the photos and contents.

Inside the back cover:
“In years gone by, war was wont to rear his horrid front o’er many an Indian camp, but his bullets were never half so deadly as the “liquid jimmy” frequently employed by the “grafter” to pry the Indian loose from his property. . . . O.H.L.
The Carlisle Indian Press
(from the web):
The United States Indian Industrial School in
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
, generally known as Carlisle Indian Industrial School, was the flagship
Indian boarding school
in the United States from 1879 through 1918.
Founded in 1879 under U.S. governmental authority by General
Richard Henry Pratt
, Carlisle was one of the early federally funded off-reservation Indian boarding schools. . . . established in a renovated military barracks.
Consistent with Pratt's belief that Native Americans were 'equal' to European-Americans, the School strove to immerse its students into mainstream Euro-American culture, believing they might thus become able to advance themselves and thrive in the dominant society.
In this period, many white Americans believed that the only hope for Native Americans, their population declining in number, was rapid assimilation into White culture.
Carlisle and similar schools remain deeply controversial; they forced children to leave their families at young ages, giving up their indigenous cultures, languages, religious and spiritual beliefs, and even their names, thus doing untold psychological damage to generations of Native people.

Another controversial thing about the Carlisle School (from the book):
The writing in the magazine was supposed to be principally collected and edited by the students . . . this elaborately decorated magazine featured the writing of Native luminaries.
But many were not by Red Men (for example pieces by Bureau of Indian Affairs commissioners) and most were not written by students . . .
The School’s publications were promoting Carlisle’s philosophy of Americanizing, individualizing, and citizenizing – were often distributed to Friends of Carlisle sympathizers, fund-raisers and powerful authorities in the state and private sectors . . .”
I could go on and on about this interesting topic, but this is too long already!
