Nick Estes: Indian Boarding Schools Were Part of "Horrific Genocidal Process" by the U.S.

Our government has a lot of blood on its hand. We are in no moral position to lecture other countries.

Crying to your enemy will not work. They have no remorse, they have no conscience. They hold themselves not guilty. Look at the descendants of the American slaves.

I have no word to describe the US atrocious conduct.

Makes me sick and yet the Gov still trying to take their land, 😡

Well, if that was not genocide and crimes against humanity, then what is? It is amazing that the Churches were also involved in this crime against humanity. Some people like to justify their actions against the indigenous people by saying they rescued them from an uncivilized existence. Well really, what they did to the Indians was uncivilized, criminal, barbaric, genocidal.

Americans, next time you hear US lecturing about or accusing of another nation about human rights ?!?!? USA's legacy on human rights is this and much much more!

Racist can be so cruel, even to children. 😢

Is there no end to cover-up of American atrocities at home and abroad?

Not only genocide, but they still won't recognize the names of the tribes they've tried to erase, or that this has never been 'India'.

For those that don't know the FBI framed Leonard Peltier for other people's crimes, because he was fighting for civil rights and human rights. ❤

Utterly Humbled by such pronounced respectful expression of truthfulness by Nick Estes.👏🏻🏹🏹🏹👏🏻

The USA calls it's concentration camps "boarding schools" or "Native Reservation".

This also happened to the Black Aboriginal Indigenous Americans which no one talks about

I have been doing my genealogy and I have a lot of relatives on the Dawes rolls but I also have “full blooded” relatives that are not on the rolls because the government rejected their applications due to them not being removed to the reservation. One of my grandfathers that only spoke Cherokee was denied enrollment because he was just seven when they were taking applications and he missed the deadline by being out of state. They also made applicants report quantitative Indian blood which the applicants didn’t understand and they had to make it up to make the government workers happy. I have “full blooded” relatives that say 1/16 on the rolls. This is another way that they wiped out native identities.

Truly horrific but thank you for reporting on this.

Revelations of our government's atrocious, inhumanely despicable behavior are never ending and continue into the present.

It's like a knife in the heart,, Thank you for shining a light on this evil.. Same thing happened in Canada as well.. Unfortunately it will be forgotten about tomorrow, truly heart breaking..

❣❣❣BRAVO! HAALAND❣❣❣ for finally addressing this horrific catastrophe brought down upon the lives of INDIGENOUS children and people. My grandmother survived this holocaust, many were never able to leave because of the health tests that were done on them. Many starved and were malnourished and died at the hands of these colonizers! AND......FURTHERMORE....... A BIG THANK YOU FOR

10 years from now you will hear similar stories of and from the children who were separated from their parents at the Us Mexican border. 1000 of children taken and missing, their parent deported under Thrump and no one is talking about it. God knows the suffering they are enduring as we speak and how many have died or are sexually molested at the hands of citizens.

As so many times through out American history I have to once again ask: "How the hell do you make this right?" How do you atone for something like this?
