The Indian Child Welfare Act and Native Genecide

Interior secretary deb holland announced that the us. Government would co operate with native communities to determine the locations of shuttered boarding schools and where native children who died in those facilities might be buried. Among non native people, we've seen a greater recognition of the fact that boarding schools were instruments of atrocity. But i found it noticeable that for a lot of people, those children's deaths were part of a narrative fixed in time, somewhere far behind us,. an old story in need of closure. So i think this is a time to ask questions and make connections.
