Between 1879โ1918, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School was part of a U.S. policy to forcibly assimilate Native children, erasing their identity through abuse and separation. Of 10,000+ students, only 158 graduated. 500+ children died in such schools. #IndigenousHistory
There are no words or enough tears to shed. The truth must be taught & we must never forget to honor these souls. ๐๐๐๐

โฆpeople should have the right to be who they are and not what others tell them to be.
All peoples should have a right to dignity and identity is an important part of this ideal. by

You're not alone!
As a white kid from Idaho, I learned about that place from Jim Thorpe's biography. I doubt there was any other way I could have learned about it or any of the other abuses of Native American children, so not many of us knew and still don't.
What must we think about all the obscene unnecessary tragedy in the news, what can we do about our shared history and modern experiences of abuse โ with all the twisted horrors some humans are determined to repeat in pursuit of power and personal gain - We must act, each of us must do better.
Tragic and inhumane!!
The president made it right
This is evil.
I hope that the politicians and anyone who had a part in this are in hell.
So much shame in the history of this country.
