Friday, June 13, 2025 – The U.S. Government’s liability for boarding school abuses
(https://www.nativeamericacalling.com/friday-june-13-2025-the-u-s-governments-liability-for-boarding-school-abuses/) Two Native nations, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes, are suing the federal government over what they say is mismanagement of funds (https://www.jurist.org/news/2025/05/native-nations-sue-us-government-alleging-misuse-of-trust-funds-for-boarding-schools/) related to Indian Boarding Schools. They claim the U.S. Government is on the hook for $23.3 billion by failing to live up to the Treaty and Trust Responsibility. Meanwhile, boarding school survivor advocates are concerned that years of research and narratives shedding light on the Boarding School Era have vanished from federal government sources. We’ll discuss the importance of these recent updates.

It's the not knowing that hurts so much!
No!
no, it's the knowing
knowing they're gone and you don't know where
and you do know they didn't want to go
and you don't know how to bring them back
and you do know nobody is going to help you
because nobody know how!
It's the remembering,
who they are and wondering if they still are
it's the wanting new memories with them
it's the doubt
it's the regrets
it's the shame, you didn't stop it,
couldn't have stopped it.
What kind of a man does that?
Takes a child,
takes a woman,
takes another person and makes them a slave
or worse.
Is there a worse, than loosing ownership of yourself?
Who would do that to somebody?
Do you know them?
The worst part is, it happened
It happened, Damnit! It happened!
And they're gone
and so is a part of you
and a part of everybody around you
and the worst part is, you don't even know why!
The worst part is
all of it!
