The Lipan Apache Band has considered Mather a "lost one" and did not know his whereabouts for 123 years. Mather was taken from the Lipan Apache Band in 1877 when it was attacked by Col. Ronald McKenzie's Fourth U.S. Calvary unit just south of the border between the United States and Mexico. He was sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial school to be assimilated into a western lifestyle, and died in Carlisle as a teenager in 1888. The Lipan Apache Band referred to Mather and Kesetta Roosevelt, his older sister who was taken from Texas with him, as lost ones for over 100 years. Then, a guest professor at Dickinson College contacted the band with Mather and Roosevelt's story. Jacqueline Fear-Segal, an American studies professor at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, was doing research for her book "The White Man's Club: Schools, Race, and the Struggle of Indian Acculturation" while at Dickinson in 2000 during a faculty exchange program. -RICK SELTZER, The Patriot-NewsThe Lost Ones (Hidden Histories)
