A new accounting shows that at least 523 institutions were part of the sprawling network of boarding schools for Native American children.
‘War Against the Children’ The Native American boarding school system — a decades-long effort to assimilate Indigenous people before they ever reached adulthood — robbed children of their culture, family bonds and sometimes their lives.
“The government was not done with war, so the next phase involved war against the children,” said Mr. Sherman, 83, a former aerospace engineer.
Now 76, his voice grows shaky when he recounts the punishments children received — and how children were turned into punishers.
Library of Congress, Chronicling AmericaA precise accounting of how many children died at Native American boarding schools remains elusive.
