This crushes my heart. No one should EVER be mistreated in a school, let alone murdered by someone’s miscreant beliefs. My soul weeps for the way the Native Americans were treated by whites. Thousands of years upon this land, life in harmony with nature and so much more. These tribal nations are owed recompense that they will probably never see. I hope and pray that they can hold on to all that they still have of their original beliefs and customs. We have dishonored great peoples. There was so much they could’ve taught us, so much we could’ve learned had we not been blinded by GREED.

[@Barbara-lu2sj]

@yvonnelewis4888 The children more than likely died of disease. I don't think they were straight up murdered. (although I may be wrong. ) It's the fact that the families were never told so the children could be buried on sacred land or have the proper burials, that's cruel.

[@SheilaAdkinson]

Hope if they are there you will find them, it's horrible what children go through.

The ash dumping area for the Indian Boarding School furnaces need to be screened for teeth and bone fragments. I have heard an Elder tell a story about a female Native boarding school student who was molested by the priest that ran the boarding school and when the girl got pregnant and gave birth the crying baby was taken away right after birth and thrown into the furnace. I do not believe this was an isolated incident but actually the standard practice for disposing of Native Children bodies at Indian Boarding Schools. Another example of Natives Bodies being disposed of by throwing them in the furnace is the Hospitality Inn Bed & Breakfast in Dorris, California where the owners son showed me the furnace in the basement and told me with a smile on his face this is where the Native Bodies were disposed of when the building was a hospital and the Native People that came for medical help were given placebo treatments instead of real medical care after.

[@Barbara-lu2sj]

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (a member of the Pueblo Nation in NM) conducted an investigation of Indian Boarding Schools. At least 65 schools had marked and unmarked graves on the school grounds. Most children died from disease and neglect.There were over 400 Boarding Schools in the US alone.

Anyone who has followed the Canadian Residential School abuse scandal knows that we need to be skeptical of these claims of hundreds of unmarked graves of abused, meaning murdered, Indian children. In Canada there's been many horrific claims but, as of yet, no evidence to support them. Accusations of murder need evidence. We should all be able to agree on that.

Suzy snuck out to go drinking, and when she came back in, white staff thought she was just acting up (supposedly; could they not smell the alcohol on her breath?) and threw her in the hole. Yes, the hole-solitary confinement just like a prison. She was dead from alcohol poisoning the next morning. Children are still dying in Native American boarding schools:
