"WE ARE THE GRANDCHILDREN OF THE LAKOTA YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO REMOVE."
Dear Coalition,
This episode of REVEAL on NPR details the issues behind the Indian Boarding School era through the experience of the Red Cloud Indian School. The school still exists and this report shares the challenges of investigating its history.
One of the issues is the schools being unwilling to share their historic records. The two pieces of legislation that Deb Haaland of the Interior Department has created, S.1723 TRUTH AND HEALING ACT and HR. 7227 TRUTH AND HEALING ACT would enable them to subpoena the records of these schools.
Please put on your head phones or ear buds and listen to this important episode. You can also read the transcript if you scroll down on the open link to ICT at the bottom.
It helps us all to know why the Truth and Healing Act legislation is so important.
