The Injustices of Indian Schools

Today more than ever, Americans are being asked to revisit historical injustices. One of the lesser known injustices in American history is the forced assimilation of Native American children through U.S. government schools.

This is a story about how the US government sought to destroy Native American culture and how Indigenous peoples endured in the face of oppression.
