Historie

It's February 24th. This day in 1928, a major report is issued highlighting conditions inside the so-called Indian Boarding Schools, which were set up by the US Government in the middle of the 19th century to "Americanize" Native American children.

Jody, NIki, and Kellie are joined by reporter Dana Hedgpeth to discuss what the report found, and how little reform took place inside these schools despite generation after generation of abuse and secrecy.

Dana is one of the author's behind a massive new investigation in The Washington Post that uncovered new records and tried to paint a picture of the true level of deaths and suffering inside Indian boarding schools.
