The grief and broken land-people link from Carlisle persists across generations.

Evidence

What was stolen at Carlisle has been a knot of sorrow I’ve carried like a stone buried in my heart. I am not alone. That grief lives on in all the families of those whose names appear on the pages of that big red book. The broken link between land and people, between the past and the present, aches like a badly broken bone still unknit. — Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass, 969
