Investigation Into Native American Boarding Schools In Indiana | WTHR Documentary

This treatment should be considered child trafficking

Thanks to Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior who pushed to investigate these brutal murders, finding and discovering the graves of these precious Indigenous children.

Native American's and Canada's First Nation's were lead to culture, separation to genocide. My GGGrandfather Captain James Douglas Warren came from P.E.I., in 1885 and opened up the Trade Routes around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii. This weekend our family put up a carving at the Sannich Elementary School in VICTORIA, B.C. To honour or GGGram Tossimitsa Edenshaw, she was a Chief's daughter from the Haida Gwaii. She survived Kuper Island, to become the oldest native to die on it in 1931 at 104. Tutsumutsa aka Mary Warren William's, was the only Women First Nation's Treaty Holder. Lucky my Penaluket Father passed this on as most was unbeknownst till 20 years ago. This is the truth, and has to have reconciliation, and Indian Act Dissolved & hold the Catholic and other churches accountable.

"Then I lost my spirit." That's what they were after from the start.

This was slavery.

Please don't let this story disappear... this needs to be a constant reminder of the atrocities committed here. 😢

Every one of those children's face showed the horror they experienced. Those children were truly in the hands of the beast.

When they check for graves, make sure that land is historically surveyed, or the grave detectors will count other structures underground when they use them....it's hush hush in Canada, because the numbers are so high. This does not hinder the fact of atrocities...but let it be accurate for truth sakes.

This just hurts my heart

Another Holocaust .. Systematically ethnic cleansing and if children died in the process so be it... This makes my soul hurt.

This saddens my heart, knowing that I live in a state, where my own people were treated so bad, it hurts me to the core💔😪

Excellent documentary! Thank you for getting such important stories to wider audiences 💖

Can you post a follow up after the DNR investigates and determines how many are buried?

This is Catholicism in the European world. They did this wherever they went and colonised.

Heartbreaking, especially that religious folks could be so cruel. The Catholics have made quite a name for themselves over the years. I am a recovering catholic. Many prayers for my Native brothers and sisters. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

These children were little human beings. I just don't understand how people could do this to another human. It's horrifying!

What did you expect? Indiana didn't stop lynching( murder) parties until the fifties. So I can only imagine what these European Americans did to these American children.

Native Americans and Black people have suffered dearly at the hands of these sick people.

This is so sad and breaks my heart.

What happened to my family is nothing less than evil. But what can we do today that happened yesterday? We don't forget the ones we lost at the hands of the "colonists" and those who were stolen and taken to a boarding school from hell, we remember them and make them proud, remember why we don't have a word for goodbye.. Isn't there ground penetrating radar available these days?? Wouldn't hurt to use something like that, cause if they were hiding a lot of deaths then I would think that it's quite possible that there would be unmarked graves plotted around the places..
