Join MLK Scholar Patricia Saulis and a panel of Indigenous experts, alumni, and community members in telling the stories of survivors and descendants of the practice that forced Indigenous children into state-and-church-run residential "schools."
Our session comes in the wake of the uncovering of a mass grave of 215 Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, at the Residential School in Kamloops BC in early June. This session is meant to raise awareness and create understanding about the history and legacy of this forced separation - and what institutions can do to address issues of social and environmental justice for Tribal Nations in the United States and Canada.
