Kill the Indian, Save the Man: How US Boarding Schools Committed Cultural Genocide
Dr. Ramona Klein’s testimony exposes America’s dirtiest secret: Indian boarding schools weren’t schools—they were child concentration camps designed to erase Native identity. From 1869-1978, the U.S. government kidnapped Indigenous children, forced them into military-style "schools," and: Sheared off sacred hair at gunpoint Beat students for speaking their languages Dressed them in corpse-clothes from dead white children Mass-graved thousands who died of abuse/tuberculosis The goal? "Kill the Indian, save the man." The result? Generational trauma and 40% of all Native children in foster care today. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6iETRsyPTY )
