The Spin

The trauma inflicted by the US government's boarding schools for indigenous children persists across generations, deeply affecting their communities. The recent Interior Department probe only highlights the grave injustices they faced. Survivors and their descendants are now working to ensure this dark chapter of history is remembered and addressed.

The trauma faced by Native American children in boarding schools can be addressed through reconnecting with family, culture, and community. Emphasizing family stories and resilience helps bridge the gap created by forced assimilation. Healing also comes from expressing pain through art and recognizing the historical injustices. Acknowledging the past and sharing experiences can lead to collective healing and restoration of cultural identity.
