Thank you for telling this history. My family members were victims of these horrendous schools. Well past time for recognition & repairing the community.

Thank you for sharing. It sickens me to see the horrible conditions that so many of your people suffered.

I can't believe how recent these things happened. My auntie didn't specifically tell me what happened but she cried soft tears when she took me to boarding school and didn't want me to go but she let me go eventually. It breaks my heart how different my experience was from hers. It was a different school but that happened to her not that long ago.
