NINE LITTLE GIRLS: A Two-Part Series

Almost every February for a decade, the nine Charbonneau sisters donned their traditional Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa regalia, took deep breaths, and piled into cars to travel to the South Dakota Legislature in Pierre. There, the sisters told lawmakers year after year about the abuse they endured as children at the hands of priests, nuns, and staff at St. Paul’s Indian Mission boarding school in Marty, South Dakota. The sisters’ accounts of molestation, rape, and even a forced abortion aligned with a larger picture of abuse painted by more than 100 other boarding-school students in lawsuits against the Catholic dioceses of Sioux Falls and Rapid City that began in 2003.

Nine Little Girls - Part 1

For more than a decade, nine sisters battled the South Dakota legislature for the right to sue the Catholic Church for sexual abuses they endured during the 1950s and '60s at an Indian boarding school the church operated. State lawmakers have denied these women and hundreds of other Native survivors of sexual abuses the right to sue, and some have died without receiving justice.

Quaker Groups Pays Alaska Native Village $93,000 in Reparations for Its Part in Forced Assimilation

A religious group responsible for the forced assimilation of Native youth in Alaska has paid $93,000 in reparations to the Organized Village of Kake, a tribe in Southeast Alaska that was once the site of a Quaker assimilation school for Native kids. Members of the Alaskan branch of a Quaker group that ran a mission school in Kake from 1819 to 1912 (when the Presbyterian’s took over) delivered the check in person on Jan.19, accompanied by a four page apology. The Quakers, also called “Friends”, were one of a handful of religious groups that helped the federal government run its more than 500 institutions aimed at eliminating Native culture, language, dress, and customs from 1819 through 1970 through re-education and identity-altering methodologies.

ACLU Sues Rhode Island Prison Forbidding Native Prisoner from Wearing Apache Headband

A Rhode Island prison system is denying a White Mountain Apache inmate his right to practice his religious beliefs by wearing an Apache headband, according to a lawsuit filed by American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys in Rhode Island District Court on Jan. 24. Since 2019, plaintiff Wolf Pawochawog-Mequinosh (formerly Brian Brownell, who changed his name in 2022) has filed four petitions with prison administration at the Adult Corrections Facility in Cranston, Rhode Island, seeking permission to wear an Apache headband.

American Museum of Natural History to Close Outdated Native American Exhibits in Response to Updated Repatriation Law

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City will close two of its exhibition halls that showcase “severely outdated” representations of Native Americans, the museum’s president, Sean Decatur, wrote today in an internal email to staff. The announcement of the exhibit closures on Saturday, Jan. 27 was in direct response to updates in a federal repatriation law that became effective earlier this month. The law, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), now requires museums and institutions holding Native American human remains and sacred objects to consult with— and receive consent from— affected tribal nations, in order to exhibit their artifacts.

Alaska Museum is Building a Private Database to Repatriate Kodiak Alutiiq Ancestors

An Alaska Native museum in the state’s Kodiak Archipelago is using a nearly $100,000 federal grant to build a private online database to help unite local tribes with their ancestors. The Alutiiq Museum—a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve and share the culture of the Alutiiq Alaska Native tribal people— will lead the two year project, called ‘Angitapet’, meaning ‘We Are Returning Them’ in Alutiiq/Sugpiaq. The museum has identified at least 12 institutions in the US that hold the remains of at least 168 Kodiak Alutiiq ancestors, said Amanda Lancaster, the museum’s Curator of Collections and repatriation coordinator since March 2017.

Field Museum, Others Cover Native American Displays to Comply with New Regulations

As new federal law requirements went live last week, museums and institutions holding Native American human remains and artifacts across the country scrambled to understand and implement new changes. On Jan. 9, three days before the new federal regulations went into effect, Chicago’s Field Museum covered several display cases containing cultural items from Native communities throughout the United States. “Pending consultation with the represented communities, we have covered all cases that we believe contain cultural items that could be subject to these regulations,” the museum wrote in a statement.
