Examining the Painful Legacy of Native American Boarding Schools in the U S

In June, the U.S. launched its own investigation into the long history of abuse and loss of life at hundreds of boarding schools for Native American children run by the federal government from the mid-1800s through much of the 20th century. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, said she wants the investigation to focus closely on cemeteries and possible burial sites at or near the schools.

To honor our ancestors, get their history right

To honor our ancestors, get their history right Herewith: Boarding School 101  Text size Copy shortlink: Prompted by the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at the site of former Indigenous residential schools in Canada, U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced that her department will take steps to reconcile the troubled legacy of federal boarding school policies. Like me, Haaland has relatives who attended an American Indian government boarding school. As a historian, I have been troubled by misinformation in regional and national media about the history of government boarding schools. Uncertainty exists over how long the boarding school era lasted, the ages of students, and how much coercion was used to make Indians attend the schools. Further, because some American Indians attended mission schools, which were separate institutions, the federal boarding school story gets mixed up in that history.
