On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor Native culture the legacy of Native American boarding schools and remember the Native children.
As we celebrate the resilience and vibrancy of Native peoples, we mourn the thousands of Native children who were abused and murdered at federally-run boarding schools.
This Indigenous Peoples Day, as we celebrate the resilience, contributions and vibrant cultures of Native peoples, we’re also mourning the thousands of Native children who were abused and murdered at federally-run boarding schools. For over 150 years, the U.S. government systematically enforced policies that forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of Native children from their homes, families and communities to be ‘culturally assimilated’ within the confines of boarding schools.
I realized that to confront this part of our history, we have to talk about it, learn about it, and share it as widely as we can—to ensure that this history never repeats itself. Then, my daughter was born, and I felt an even deeper connection to this historical trauma. Imagining someone knocking on my door, taking my child from my arms, and lacking all the power to protect her motivates me to do this work every day. I want my daughter to understand her history, feel grounded in her identity, and know that this harm will never enter her life. And once people know our nation’s entire history, it will change how we start addressing these issues.
