Extremely hard to watch...we all have our horrible memories of childhood schooling and high school...I went to the Second Mesa Day School on the Hopi reservation and we were whipped if we were ever caught speaking our own language...in high school is where a lot of even more horrible things happen...things I would rather not mention. We natives learn how to live the land and live off the land and that is the reason why we consider our home extremely sacred and the reason why we call her MOTHER EARTH...we were never brought up to leave or become like white people...we are and always will be the true human beings where we still live.

I have Great respect for Native American people. I never heard anything about this treatment during my school years. just how America was conquered basically. I am glad now many Native Americans are proud to show their culture and should be celebrated.

It's important to recognise that the history mistreatment & the destruction of the culture of Indigenous People's has been going on for centuries. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
When Fred told his story and teared up he was once again that little boy who was abused and betrayed by the adults at the school. It was heartbreaking to watch and I cried with him. And how bad he felt for being mad at his brother who could do nothing but put his hand on his leg. This is why we need to teach the truth in schools about the way we treated Native Americans and blacks as slaves and our actions as white people. History is always written by the conquerors. No, we may not have personally done these things, but that is part of our heritage and how we view the world. It colors our thinking. Without learning about our history, the bad as well as the good, we learn nothing and nothing changes.
Yet one more crime committed by the nuns, priests, and leaders of the Catholic church. They never own, apologize, or atone for anything. Shameful. Sinful.
Native americas is from alaska to south america. The immigration war against natives migrating from the southern border is an extension of neo colonialism. One land, one people. Native americas.
It would really help South America, and Central America, if they got rid of the Catholic Church and the Spanish/ Catholic economy. That's why they are going through all the awful things down there.
@@yulyasevelova769 the catholic church is in the us as well. They got cristo culombo to be a holiday. But yeah i agree. How can an organization that committed genocide be allowed to operate.
@@episdosas9949 Well, of course I know the Catholic Church is in the U.S., and VERY active in American affairs, trust me ! Their Opus Dei meddles in a lot of countries. They want to see these countries go Hard Right. The U.S especially. Which it has. By the way,this didn't just start with that Columbus. One must go further, back to the travels and journals of Marco Polo. He was a Vatican spy ! The Vatican wanted to control the Silk Road and it's trade routes. Whoever controlled that, controlled the whole world ! Columbus was obsessed with Marco Polo, and wanted to pick up where he left off, but militarily. Only, you could not fight a land war on or near the Silk Road. He wanted to do this by sea . One is related to the other. Whites didn't invent gunpowder. China did ! That goes for most of the inventions existing back then. Also not taught in schools.
@LR Kay You really don't know if these people speaking the truth. But, if you have verifiable evidence that 🙄these things happened as they say, then of course, the church ⛪should do something about it. But, as far as, I know the whole of Christianity should repent for the atrocities they commit on a daily basis. Not only the catholic denomination.
The story told by the former Marine is one of the worst accounts I've heard. How could anyone force a child to do something like that? Calling it cruel would be a gross understatement. Our country will bear this shame for a very long time.
You're right, but then they lost their lands just like every tribe they conquered, time to put this nonsense to rest, this is America, not native lands, they only have anything because we allowed them to, rather than exterminating their culture and societies
This was so heartbreaking to me to hear how abused the Native American children were treated at the Catholic boarding schools. This made me weep. How could those victims even believe that there was a God/Jesus of Love, Compassion, Mercy and Goodness when they were treated horribly by nuns and priests? May Divine Grace come upon all those Native Americans for healing, comfort and peace. Amen! 🙏
I Love the Native Americans. They were treated unfairly. The lands belong to them. They had their own culture language they could have learned our s .They shouldn't have been put on reservations. It's in my BLOOD
Hey!! Look around. The gov't just DID this again at the border, snatching kids away from their parents and caging them like animals. NOTHING has changed except the narrative. The white folks of that time watched and said NOTHING. Just like we did last year with the kids at the border.
My grandmother died of cirrhosis of the liver from alcoholism. She would not talk about her boarding school days. Told us to never register with the bureau of Indian affairs.
Wow. So sorry this happened. I can't imagine how a child can process such abuse. I do hope there's a reckoning but more so, I hope for individual healing and restoration of Indian cultures and traditions. Sending love. ❤ -- KateColors
Ok, first however, how about Natives from slave owning tribes apologize to black folks? How about that? Also, why should anyone celebrate indigenous people? I mean, seriously. Why? They offer nothing culturally and we won the land from them and then gave them land, only nation ever to do so, they're actually very lucky.
Or how about they apologize for scalping whites? Or how about they apologize to each other for the genocides and the mistreatment? How about we be real for once?
@Jeremy Fransen LMAO, pretty sure it's all the "indigenous" people crying, me? I'm celebrating America and its discovery, no tears here from me, even when my people were ON the trail. I'm incredibly glad America won and I'm an American, the greatest nation of people to have ever existed on earth thus far.
@Jeremy Fransen Wish you had the fortitude to keep what you said there, figures you wouldn't. Sorry I speak facts not emotional appeals to unreasonable desires lmao They lost, get over it already.
Her story, as much as I wish it wasn't, is so common. And it's done by religious entities. It's even more evil than genocide because the survivers live knowing they lost a significant part of themselves and are left with no way to regain it. In Hawaii, our original language is lost in the past. Our language had to be reinvented and pieced together from the memories of the few elders that werent scared into or beaten into silence. You want to see the face of cultural genocide and depravity, go to church.
I live my Roman catholic faith. People do wrong things but religion is good. Think also of the good. St. Damian who cared for lepers. Or st. Cabrini who made 67 schools and orphanages, or mother Teresa who rescued the dying, or st. Martin deporres who started the worlds first animal hospital.
@@wednesdayschild3627 Actually, organized religion is objectively responsible for many horrible cruel systemic issues that persist today. To say religion is blanket good is grossly dishonest. Religion can be good for those who practice it and can occasionally do good for society, but it can and often does commit horrible acts, including genocide.
@@bearswithglasses I disagree. I think the problem is human nature. For example, government is responsible for atrocious evil, but who runs government? People do. Government and religion are tools. Tools do nothing, people use tools for good or evil.
The fact that servants of God treated any child this way is absolutely atrocious!! 🤬😤 I knew these schools existed in the 1800s but I had no clue that they went all the way into the 1980s 🤯
Because when they got here in the 1800 they had to go to school to learn how to pretend to be a Native American They are the fake Indians the word Native American first came in existence in the 1900s because they are fake Indians the school Was for them to take the real American Indians place From the copper colored American Indian But you guys like to call us black but we’re not black we’re copper colored
This very important to air Indigenous People's experiences with colonization and their history before colonization from Indigenous people. In fact, there needs to be more TV specials, movies and documentaries made about the horrific details, written, directed and produced by Indigenous people. Funding film projects like this is important. And aired on National TV. Thank you for airing this. The United States should've already had a Indigenous American as President, there's much more that needs to be done.
The Church acted in unison with colonialism, they did that in Canada too! This year revealed that the "Indigenous Church" killed children. 215 bodies of First Nations were found in Kamloops British Columbia this past summer! It's heart breaking! The gentleman in this video has the same language as the Ojibwa Nation, people here are trying to learn as much as they can from the elders.
The “Trail of Tears” is being erased from history books and not taught in school. I’m part Cherokee and this boils my blood. Making the suffering of my ancestors disappear. History is always written by the Victors. Always.
I am also native Cherokee, what tribe are you from, what region? And you’re saying that the Trail of Tears is being erased from the history books, oh really? Where is your proof, in fact I have a plethora books not only on the destruction of the Native Americans, but many books on how native tribes not only fought against one another, but often would put there pity disputes aside to unite against the United States government. In fact every single one of these books can be bought today, paperback or e-book. Ironically so far not one of these books magically were erased from our reality. So I would like to see your proof, that somehow that the Trail of Tears is magically being erased from history books. Otherwise you’re just a another bigot that’s trying to divide us all into groups. Just remember this, our Cherokee ancestors were very brutal at times, I have so many memorable stories from my tribe that truly makes my blood curl. Ripping out the hearts of victims, eating them, enslaving people of all races was the Cherokee way. Just remember, every culture on earth conquered other cultures, every single culture on earth has blood on their hands.
@@zapkvr It's quite possible he doesn't know that. That is proof that the "schools" successfully did what they were intended to do. They educated the culture, or even knowledge of the culture, out of these children, and by extension their children and grandchildren. My best friend is half Lummi. I take her upstate to the Lummi reservation to get her tribal ID card renewed. There are signs written in the native language all over the building, but she doesn't have a clue what they say or even how to pronounce them. The knowledge of the language ended in her family when her father was sent to one of those boarding schools.
I teach this in both my Multicultural communication class and my linguistics classes. This is so horrifying. This should be taught in every school. Reparations should be made to families and communities. It is heartbreaking.
I want tribes to be paid by government for what the indigenous went through !!! We want museums we want language we want stories we want all things to be in art show ,provide the evidence so we can always be remembered ????
There are attempts to do that, at least with the tribes here locally. We have a tribal run school (not a boarding school) that native American children in the area can go to that focuses on teaching the children native culture along with standard school learning. They have a lot of events that showcase and educate the general public also.
Every race has suffered from the hands of the Europeans. It’s heartbreaking. You can’t fix a person after mentally destroying them the way they did. I do hope the tribes stay strong and those who experienced these torturing experiences find peace.
My great grandfather Paul Jones was given that name at boarding school, early 1900s, it took the government people several tries/years before they rounded him up. He grew up to be one of the best leaders of the Navajo Nation. His autobiography is in the Northern Arizona University archives online. Paul Jones Navajo chairman
Maka Oyate asicahowaya wicokakije ye. The Earth People cry out on account of suffering. Womime Wakan kin ekicetuya ye. The Sacred Circle restore. Grandmothers & Grandfathers, Spirit Wings give to us as a gift; Teach us how to soar.
The horrible things that happen to these beautiful people has had such a dramatic impact on the way they live life now it is saddening and maddening all at the same time period
My Aunt Lucretia was in a boarding school in Oklahoma, Choctaw Nation, early 1900's ..I can't imagine what that was like, be it good or not so good...God Bless Native American People..This history Needs to be told..
@@judah400yrs2 That institution IS evil. They still defend their behavior too ! But, missles are trained on the Vatican. At the precise time, they will fly.
I'm just part Native American from Cherokee county Georgia on Park Cherokee it's always a shame in how we lost so much to the white people if only we can take something back from the government in courts and that findings 1,000 of children in graves at these religious orphanages run by the government and Catholic Church in despicable that's all it is and they called us heathens back then yeah right
Mother Cabrini Catholic School in Springfield IL was a prison for little kids in the 50's. Hope they searched the grounds for bodies because it was a torture system. My brother and I were victims. What a nightmare. And we were white.
This isn't about wht people's experiences in schools. Right now it's about Indigenous Nations/ tribes. It's time for them to tell their story without anyone else coming in and making it about something else.
It breaks my heart to see our brothers suffer like this. We were all made from the Earth and we came out different colors but the same Earth. When will we learn to appreciate our diversities?
They came to Africa and did just this after they had made away with some of us for their plantations. The cruelty that has been visited on humanity in the name of religion is still being catalogued. Yet Christ is far better than his representatives have made Him out to be! My heart bleeds for this beautiful people as much as it bleeds for mine. They must be set on the path of healing....
I'm full-blooded Choctaw from north Louisiana. America has ALWAYS done wrong by us Natives. I'm 33 years old and the local officials hate me because I'm not afraid to speak up for what's right. Speaking the truth always shuts them down. Our tribe owns land, truck stops, and casinos on I-20. They have tried numerous times to take it(steal) away from us but failed. My generation refuses to put up with bs. Times have changed and we won't let America take advantage of us. They call me an a-hole but I really don't care. I'm just keeping my people's best interest in mind
😭 I cannot even finish watching this...just demonic and sadistic. It's sad that even today, people still try to be like those colonizers. I pray for all people who survived and those that didn't.
@@treelife3400 these are all good ideas, I would support any/all of them, but I would also like to see a new branch of government established and comprised of Indigenous Americans, elected by Indigenous Americans, with powers to make amendments to bills before they can be signed by the president. Indigenous people know best what is needed to make things right, and this would give them the power to make those changes possible.
@@treelife3400 yeah, I guess I am. Given that the government of the United States has since inception not been interested in helping Indigenous Americans, and they are best suited for knowing what isn't in their interests, I am in favour of a branch of indigenous Americans duly elected by their tribes to ensure that the atrocities they have experienced are never going to happen again. Furthermore, as they are an underprivileged group, a lot of the changes they will put forward will very likely also be a benefit to other underrepresented groups.
We heard stories of mass graves. We heard stories of misbehaving children being tied up in the snow and left to freeze to death. Then the parents be written and told the child died of pneumonia.
I feel it in my guts for these people because I can relate to some of the verbal and physical abuse I received from my high school principal who was a Nun in the Carribean in the 70s. I will take these memories to my grave, but I will never let that distroy my life.
The Catholic Church needs to pay reparations to the Indigenous survivors. We celebrate our Native American Brothers and Sisters and honor their sacrifices on this Indigenous Peoples Day.
@4eva evolving People who've been tormented and killed as a demographic, deserve to see punitive damages paid to each of them as a demographic, by the entity that executed the atrocities.
This is all so heartbreaking 💔. May they RIP. Another travesty by the Catholic Church. Sending prayers & love to all concerned or touched by this tragedy.
it's great that he's still trying to learn the language but from my personal experience as a native, I think there may not be enough people that are trying to learn so that it can sustain itself. One of the difficulties is Native American languages do not have enough resources for learning as other languages like Spanish or Chinese. It would be great to get more support such as providing more media content in native languages. This includes hiring translators for books and movies. Hiring actors to do the audio in movies. Google Translate should also have native languages. Many of the fluent speakers also lack some of the credentials for teaching which is another barrier for revitalizing the language. So maybe they can receive more support. More can be done for providing more language learning material not just at the basic level but also the advanced level. Street signs can change and so can our phone language settings. However, I think maybe these resources are not created because in the end it's all about money.
I am struggling to understand why we want to be good Christian’s . I don’t see much good things being done in the name of Christianity. What was wrong with letting this beautiful little being grow and be itself without literally cramming religion down it’s throat.
@@sunnywynn56 The whole of Christianity should repent. They preach 🙌but not live the life. Not only the catholic denomination should repent but all the Christian churches and their members.
Bad people corrupt Christianity for not following the way of Christ. They hide behind the mask of being Christian while practicing satanism. Christianity was a religion stolen and made over for demons to move in the light. True Christians- we know who we are and we are here to love.
Indigenous Peoples Day ✊🏽✊🏾 Celebrate the Indigenous Culture We need to make people recognize the suffering of the indigenous Americans No one should be celebrating Columbus day
@@rightofcl Is Columbus the cause for this suffering? I don't think Columbus was the only one to be blamed. Actually, if these people are telling the truth various governments should be blamed . However, from the beginning of times, every people have had their time ⏲️of suffering. Some people were even brought to extinction. Don't exist 😴anymore. This is why some of us don't believe in religion. No matter the religion.
It's sad that this took place. However many children that have gone to private and public institutions have endure horrible experiences because of wicked hearted adults. Those in position of authority shall be judged.
I'm so sorry to all indigenous people who experienced this. The forefathers of these Spiritual attackers are here in NZ. We (Maori) experienced this too until the late 80s, brutality continued into the 90s.
Yes, it wasn't just the boarding schools; many families, especially of the Mormon faith, adopted Native American kids, even though they had parents. I do acknowledge the pain and suffering we invaders subjected the original peoples here. For the most part, tribes wanted to live in peace, but most of our descendants did not even acknowledge the worth of the original peoples - just saw them as uneducated, heathen, and disgusting just because the culture and language were different. The US broke so many treaties and promises and removed them from their own land into ghettos, wouldn't allow them to practice their traditions, and purposefully tried to wipe them off the face of the Earth and many, many atrocious ways. But I was NOT taught ANYTHING about Native Americans when I was in school!
...it all continues today in other ways. It must be stopped. Humanity must take an honest look at itself and end these unspeakably evil ways!! 😔🕊Great Spirit, guide and speak loudly to us all !! Tears are making wider rivers of the many trails of tears now finally flowing. LOVE and PEACE to these living survivors of these unspeakably horrible crimes.🕊💜😔
If there was a reservation in your states then chances there was a boarding school for Natives. My aunts and uncles use to tell us stories about how they were treated in the boarding schools. and the beating they took and cold showers they had to take.
God will give them children revenge. I went to a Catholic school and the nuns were mean and hated black children and children who weren’t Catholic. We were abused physically and verbally. I was so happy when our mother took us out. My heart goes out to these children and I pray that they all will find comfort in God.
Seems like no matter how much bad and sad information comes out about the Catholic Church, it is still venerated as is its pope's. This is evidenced by the visit of the Pope to United States some years ago which was a much celebrated news event with crowds and people lined up cheering and waving and getting hugs and kisses.
These people practiced beheading on their own people for centuries. And has never been kind to anything except gold and currency. In the real world religion runs countries government is its employee.
I feel your pain. I'm mixed race and I was in a catholic boarding school call our lady of Victory in Texas at 8 y/o (only brown/black child) and didn't get to go anywhere when others went home or to sponsors during holidays or summer. The trauma of being beaten, manhandled, force feed things, fear and humiliated just because it was day, though we survived, it always will be with us. I'm mortified about the deaths under the disguises of Christian work. Always wondered what is wrong with their brains to cause such things all over the planet. It DID happen!
As a ethnically ambiguous looking guy of native descend it's painful to know about history - and hurtful that it's taboo that those who are the cruelest by now aee black people. They won't tell me if it's because I look Asian or Latin, but they don't mind reminding that they want to bear me up. I find that odd and pray for all to find kindness in our hearts.
@@treelife3400 Where on the planet Earth do black people behave as colonizers ? Who and where are these Black people you are talking about? Please define for me what do you mean by black ?
My apologies on behalf of any black persons behaving disrespectfully. I understand what it's like to be ill treated and discriminated against. The black and indigenous communities have suffered similar and different experiences under colonialism.
Heartbreaking. It was totally wrong but was done during a time where racism was rampant and physical discipline wasn’t considered abuse but was considered a “normal” part of schooling. My sisters grew up bring hit in catholic school in the late 70s.
Most of the people in the world, @NBC News, is we don't know "School" means "to blindly follow leadership" and continue to say it's the process of being "educated" which has the meaning of "bringing from within ourselves by objectively observing, participating and reasoning for determining purposes." The prefix "edu" means to "bring from within," as the Natives of the Americas generally were able to do, while "cate" means to be able "to reveal one's findings to others." As far as I know, Europeans has always been a DICTATING people deceiving themselves by calling schooling an education although the dictionaries have or had the correct definition for educate.
It hurts hearing this my mom and dad went to boarding school and to this day they refuse to talk about there experience and I respect there wishes not to ask
My grandma went to a boarding school in Oklahoma. She was born in 1946 so I’m assuming in the late 50’s-60’s. I need to sit down and ask her questions!
The same thing.is still happening today. It takes brave people like this woman to speak out against it. Immigrants can tell many many stories of how they get treated when they come to this country

Whoever controlled that, controlled the whole world ! Columbus was obsessed with Marco Polo, and wanted to pick up where he left off, but militarily. Only, you could not fight a land war on or near the Silk Road. He wanted to do this by sea . One is related to the other. Whites didn't invent gunpowder. China did ! That goes for most of the inventions existing back then. Also not taught in schools.
It's great that you are speaking out about this.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS 😔
Do not celebrate Columbus Day
Celebrate indigenous peoples day instead ✊🏽✊🏾
This needs so much more attention. Thanks for this video.

This is so sad. Eating vomit and the brother having to watch it. The Catholic Church should have to pay these people for their suffering.
No money in the world will atone for what happens to these people...and this place was open until 1983....not that long ago
I agree these people should be paid. Money doesn't solve everything but it's needed in this time and age
The US should pay, since they let it happen,
They even subsidized the effort.
@LR Kay You really don't know if these people speaking the truth. But, if you have verifiable evidence that 🙄these things happened as they say, then of course, the church ⛪should do something about it. But, as far as, I know the whole of Christianity should repent for the atrocities they commit on a daily basis. Not only the catholic denomination.
@@itsknotmagic so some of the nuns are still alive, they better start praying for mercy and forgiveness
The story told by the former Marine is one of the worst accounts I've heard. How could anyone force a child to do something like that? Calling it cruel would be a gross understatement. Our country will bear this shame for a very long time.
Thanks for airing this. The indigenous people need to be respected. They were here before anybody!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
You're right, but then they lost their lands just like every tribe they conquered, time to put this nonsense to rest, this is America, not native lands, they only have anything because we allowed them to, rather than exterminating their culture and societies

Recognize the history and mistreatment of the Indigenous/Native American people ✊🏽✊🏾
Ok, first however, how about Natives from slave owning tribes apologize to black folks? How about that? Also, why should anyone celebrate indigenous people? I mean, seriously. Why? They offer nothing culturally and we won the land from them and then gave them land, only nation ever to do so, they're actually very lucky.
Or how about they apologize for scalping whites?
Or how about they apologize to each other for the genocides and the mistreatment? How about we be real for once?
Always!
@Jeremy Fransen LMAO, pretty sure it's all the "indigenous" people crying, me? I'm celebrating America and its discovery, no tears here from me, even when my people were ON the trail. I'm incredibly glad America won and I'm an American, the greatest nation of people to have ever existed on earth thus far.
@Jeremy Fransen Wish you had the fortitude to keep what you said there, figures you wouldn't. Sorry I speak facts not emotional appeals to unreasonable desires lmao They lost, get over it already.
Her story, as much as I wish it wasn't, is so common. And it's done by religious entities. It's even more evil than genocide because the survivers live knowing they lost a significant part of themselves and are left with no way to regain it. In Hawaii, our original language is lost in the past. Our language had to be reinvented and pieced together from the memories of the few elders that werent scared into or beaten into silence. You want to see the face of cultural genocide and depravity, go to church.
We have been lost from our Heritage and scattered....they know who we are! Dueteronomy 28
I live my Roman catholic faith. People do wrong things but religion is good. Think also of the good. St. Damian who cared for lepers. Or st. Cabrini who made 67 schools and orphanages, or mother Teresa who rescued the dying, or st. Martin deporres who started the worlds first animal hospital.
That's why is pains me to see so many Islanders being Christians
@@wednesdayschild3627 Actually, organized religion is objectively responsible for many horrible cruel systemic issues that persist today. To say religion is blanket good is grossly dishonest. Religion can be good for those who practice it and can occasionally do good for society, but it can and often does commit horrible acts, including genocide.
@@bearswithglasses I disagree. I think the problem is human nature. For example, government is responsible for atrocious evil, but who runs government? People do. Government and religion are tools. Tools do nothing, people use tools for good or evil.
The fact that servants of God treated any child this way is absolutely atrocious!! 🤬😤
I knew these schools existed in the 1800s but I had no clue that they went all the way into the 1980s 🤯
The 90s
Well its because you havent been paying attention. The last one closed down round here in the seventies.
They're demons...they stole a religion because they didn't have one....so they created for themselves a catholic religion. Smh
Because when they got here in the 1800 they had to go to school to learn how to pretend to be a Native American They are the fake Indians the word Native American first came in existence in the 1900s because they are fake Indians the school Was for them to take the real American Indians place From the copper colored American Indian But you guys like to call us black but we’re not black we’re copper colored
@@JayOne44 Where is THE MOST HIGH GOD in all of these sufferings??
This very important to air Indigenous People's experiences with colonization and their history before colonization from Indigenous people. In fact, there needs to be more TV specials, movies and documentaries made about the horrific details, written, directed and produced by Indigenous people. Funding film projects like this is important. And aired on National TV. Thank you for airing this.
The United States should've already had a Indigenous American as President, there's much more that needs to be done.

The Church acted in unison with colonialism, they did that in Canada too! This year revealed that the "Indigenous Church" killed children. 215 bodies of First Nations were found in Kamloops British Columbia this past summer! It's heart breaking! The gentleman in this video has the same language as the Ojibwa Nation, people here are trying to learn as much as they can from the elders.
500 Nations... Its remarkable and while it can be bias it is a must watch for anyone who wants to know more about some of the nations.
The “Trail of Tears” is being erased from history books and not taught in school. I’m part Cherokee and this boils my blood. Making the suffering of my ancestors disappear. History is always written by the Victors. Always.
I don't want my kids feeling guilty blah blah blah teaching critical race theory 😂 I'm sorry not funny really sad. The frigility
Its Tsalagi not Cherokee. Do you not know this?
@@deannadelmar9863 your god caused this
I am also native Cherokee, what tribe are you from, what region?
And you’re saying that the Trail of Tears is being erased from the history books, oh really? Where is your proof, in fact I have a plethora books not only on the destruction of the Native Americans, but many books on how native tribes not only fought against one another, but often would put there pity disputes aside to unite against the United States government. In fact every single one of these books can be bought today, paperback or e-book. Ironically so far not one of these books magically were erased from our reality. So I would like to see your proof, that somehow that the Trail of Tears is magically being erased from history books.
Otherwise you’re just a another bigot that’s trying to divide us all into groups. Just remember this, our Cherokee ancestors were very brutal at times, I have so many memorable stories from my tribe that truly makes my blood curl. Ripping out the hearts of victims, eating them, enslaving people of all races was the Cherokee way.
Just remember, every culture on earth conquered other cultures, every single culture on earth has blood on their hands.
@@zapkvr It's quite possible he doesn't know that. That is proof that the "schools" successfully did what they were intended to do. They educated the culture, or even knowledge of the culture, out of these children, and by extension their children and grandchildren. My best friend is half Lummi. I take her upstate to the Lummi reservation to get her tribal ID card renewed. There are signs written in the native language all over the building, but she doesn't have a clue what they say or even how to pronounce them. The knowledge of the language ended in her family when her father was sent to one of those boarding schools.
That’s tough. Im saddened by everything that had happened before. It was the history that teaches us.
I teach this in both my Multicultural communication class and my linguistics classes. This is so horrifying. This should be taught in every school. Reparations should be made to families and communities. It is heartbreaking.

There are attempts to do that, at least with the tribes here locally. We have a tribal run school (not a boarding school) that native American children in the area can go to that focuses on teaching the children native culture along with standard school learning. They have a lot of events that showcase and educate the general public also.

Not to mention African slavery and mistreatment of black people in America. And then people complain when minorities want reparations
Every race has suffered from the hands of the Europeans. It’s heartbreaking. You can’t fix a person after mentally destroying them the way they did. I do hope the tribes stay strong and those who experienced these torturing experiences find peace.

I'm just part Native American from Cherokee county Georgia on Park Cherokee it's always a shame in how we lost so much to the white people if only we can take something back from the government in courts and that findings 1,000 of children in graves at these religious orphanages run by the government and Catholic Church in despicable that's all it is and they called us heathens back then yeah right
Mother Cabrini Catholic School in Springfield IL was a prison for little kids in the 50's. Hope they searched the grounds for bodies because it was a torture system. My brother and I were victims. What a nightmare. And we were white.
This isn't about wht people's experiences in schools. Right now it's about Indigenous Nations/ tribes. It's time for them to tell their story without anyone else coming in and making it about something else.
It breaks my heart to see our brothers suffer like this. We were all made from the Earth and we came out different colors but the same Earth. When will we learn to appreciate our diversities?
We???I think they have to learn, they are the one with the diversity problem.
This is absolutely heartbreaking! So many horrific stories coming out about Catholic orphanages and Catholic schools, truly messed up!

My mom went through this, Wheelock boarding school in Oklahoma, she told of horror there.
You can't trust government or catholic officials.
They came to Africa and did just this after they had made away with some of us for their plantations. The cruelty that has been visited on humanity in the name of religion is still being catalogued. Yet Christ is far better than his representatives have made Him out to be! My heart bleeds for this beautiful people as much as it bleeds for mine. They must be set on the path of healing....

I'm full-blooded Choctaw from north Louisiana. America has ALWAYS done wrong by us Natives. I'm 33 years old and the local officials hate me because I'm not afraid to speak up for what's right. Speaking the truth always shuts them down. Our tribe owns land, truck stops, and casinos on I-20. They have tried numerous times to take it(steal) away from us but failed. My generation refuses to put up with bs. Times have changed and we won't let America take advantage of us. They call me an a-hole but I really don't care. I'm just keeping my people's best interest in mind

@@treelife3400 these are all good ideas, I would support any/all of them, but I would also like to see a new branch of government established and comprised of Indigenous Americans, elected by Indigenous Americans, with powers to make amendments to bills before they can be signed by the president. Indigenous people know best what is needed to make things right, and this would give them the power to make those changes possible.
@@treelife3400 yeah, I guess I am. Given that the government of the United States has since inception not been interested in helping Indigenous Americans, and they are best suited for knowing what isn't in their interests, I am in favour of a branch of indigenous Americans duly elected by their tribes to ensure that the atrocities they have experienced are never going to happen again. Furthermore, as they are an underprivileged group, a lot of the changes they will put forward will very likely also be a benefit to other underrepresented groups.
We heard stories of mass graves. We heard stories of misbehaving children being tied up in the snow and left to freeze to death. Then the parents be written and told the child died of pneumonia.
I feel it in my guts for these people because I can relate to some of the verbal and physical abuse I received from my high school principal who was a Nun in the Carribean in the 70s. I will take these memories to my grave, but I will never let that distroy my life.

Hello Amy
OMG her looks reminds me of my dear grandmother. What they did to the Natives is horrific!
The Catholic Church needs to pay reparations to the Indigenous survivors. We celebrate our Native American Brothers and Sisters and honor their sacrifices on this Indigenous Peoples Day.
@4eva evolving People who've been tormented and killed as a demographic, deserve to see punitive damages paid to each of them as a demographic, by the entity that executed the atrocities.
This is all so heartbreaking 💔. May they RIP. Another travesty by the Catholic Church. Sending prayers & love to all concerned or touched by this tragedy.
it's great that he's still trying to learn the language but from my personal experience as a native, I think there may not be enough people that are trying to learn so that it can sustain itself. One of the difficulties is Native American languages do not have enough resources for learning as other languages like Spanish or Chinese. It would be great to get more support such as providing more media content in native languages. This includes hiring translators for books and movies. Hiring actors to do the audio in movies. Google Translate should also have native languages. Many of the fluent speakers also lack some of the credentials for teaching which is another barrier for revitalizing the language. So maybe they can receive more support. More can be done for providing more language learning material not just at the basic level but also the advanced level. Street signs can change and so can our phone language settings. However, I think maybe these resources are not created because in the end it's all about money.
I am struggling to understand why we want to be good Christian’s . I don’t see much good things being done in the name of Christianity. What was wrong with letting this beautiful little being grow and be itself without literally cramming religion down it’s throat.
@@sunnywynn56 The whole of Christianity should repent. They preach 🙌but not live the life. Not only the catholic denomination should repent but all the Christian churches and their members.
Bad people corrupt Christianity for not following the way of Christ. They hide behind the mask of being Christian while practicing satanism. Christianity was a religion stolen and made over for demons to move in the light. True Christians- we know who we are and we are here to love.

I'm so sorry to all indigenous people who experienced this.
The forefathers of these Spiritual attackers are here in NZ.
We (Maori) experienced this too until the late 80s, brutality continued into the 90s.
Yes, it wasn't just the boarding schools; many families, especially of the Mormon faith, adopted Native American kids, even though they had parents. I do acknowledge the pain and suffering we invaders subjected the original peoples here. For the most part, tribes wanted to live in peace, but most of our descendants did not even acknowledge the worth of the original peoples - just saw them as uneducated, heathen, and disgusting just because the culture and language were different. The US broke so many treaties and promises and removed them from their own land into ghettos, wouldn't allow them to practice their traditions, and purposefully tried to wipe them off the face of the Earth and many, many atrocious ways. But I was NOT taught ANYTHING about Native Americans when I was in school!

A huge number of people are ‘survivors’ of the Roman Catholic Church’s loving care.😢
Seems like no matter how much bad and sad information comes out about the Catholic Church, it is still venerated as is its pope's. This is evidenced by the visit of the Pope to United States some years ago which was a much celebrated news event with crowds and people lined up cheering and waving and getting hugs and kisses.
These people practiced beheading on their own people for centuries. And has never been kind to anything except gold and currency. In the real world religion runs countries government is its employee.
How about the billions of dollars that went to Notre Dame as it burned- people are brainwashed into thinking Catholicism is holy.
I feel your pain. I'm mixed race and I was in a catholic boarding school call our lady of Victory in Texas at 8 y/o (only brown/black child) and didn't get to go anywhere when others went home or to sponsors during holidays or summer. The trauma of being beaten, manhandled, force feed things, fear and humiliated just because it was day, though we survived, it always will be with us. I'm mortified about the deaths under the disguises of Christian work. Always wondered what is wrong with their brains to cause such things all over the planet. It DID happen!
As a ethnically ambiguous looking guy of native descend it's painful to know about history - and hurtful that it's taboo that those who are the cruelest by now aee black people. They won't tell me if it's because I look Asian or Latin, but they don't mind reminding that they want to bear me up. I find that odd and pray for all to find kindness in our hearts.

I hope other people know that we are good, good people with big hearts underneath the stereotypes.
Most of the people in the world, @NBC News, is we don't know "School" means "to blindly follow leadership" and continue to say it's the process of being "educated" which has the meaning of "bringing from within ourselves by objectively observing, participating and reasoning for determining purposes." The prefix "edu" means to "bring from within," as the Natives of the Americas generally were able to do, while "cate" means to be able "to reveal one's findings to others." As far as I know, Europeans has always been a DICTATING people deceiving themselves by calling schooling an education although the dictionaries have or had the correct definition for educate.
True education comes with compassion & moral support.
Educate ≠ dictate
