Boarding School Unmarked Graves Tip Of Colonial Iceberg

This is just the beginning

It's always sobering when you realize the freakiest, most heinous acts on this planet are done by the hands of humans themselves, and that the trauma of those actions continues today. Only a handful of native boarding schools have been examined and more than 1,500 children have been found buried, covered up by the church and the government. There will surely be so many more found as more schools are examined.

While we can't change what happened my hope is that the public outcry will become deafening. Will it be enough for us to finally dismantle white supremacy and capitalism? I have no idea. If it would at the very least result in lands restored and reparations paid it would be a start. A petition for a National Day of Mourning has been started that we can sign but there's so much more to be done. We can also give to the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition.

What other actions are being done that you know of that we can support? Share them in the chat.
