Native American Children Abused
From the Capital-Journal
Kansas has a lot to answer for on the treatment of Native American children.
Early in our state’s history, many were forced into boarding schools. It’s where the cities of Shawnee and Mission get their names from.
Generations of families were torn apart. Children were abused, malnourished, used for labor and exploited in other ways.
The Topeka Capital-Journal’s Jason Tidd reports the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs on Wednesday released a 106-page report and 488 pages of appendices on the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative. The documents are the first report of an ongoing investigation commissioned by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, who is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe.
