This is absolutely disgusting. Why do we think we are entitled to force every race, religion, creed, etc, to be what WE want them to be! We are different on purpose, and it's beautiful. We cannot change history, but we can learn from it.
"WE" don't. Evil abusive people of all races and many cultures have done the same throughout history and are still doing it today. Hopefully people will watch films like The Sound of Freedom" and work to.stop all these forms of abductions and abuse of children.
All the Indian schools were not the same. A recent story in KSL about The Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City was praised by alumni to the school who come back each year to repaint the “I” on the adjacent mountain. They credit much of their time at the school for successes in life.
Thank you for reporting on this story. So many people don't even know that the Indian Schools existed, and even fewer understand what the system was really doing. These are the things we need to be teaching our kids so that society doesn't repeat the same mistakes. I know those who operated the schools thought that they were helping poor rural children recieve an education and marketable labor skills. But forcefully erasing someone's heritage and culture is never helping. We can do better.
The US is a nation of cowards. This is why they do not teach TRUTH to their children in schools. No. You can't do better. This is the best settler colonialism has to offer. This is why we need to move beyond the failed American experiment. Stick a fork in it. It was dead before it started. No Nation should be allowed to be maintained who formed itself on Genocide... it's evil and inhumane.
With out the schools many children would not have made it at their homes, without the schools those that were successful and there were many, would not be teachers, lawyers, judges, business men, actors, singers, nurses, doctors, etc. ask them. This is a bunch of unsubstantiated stories, speculation, unfounded hearsay and fabrication to get money.
@@lhl9010 Lies. There is documented proof from doctors AND many convictions of pedophiles... along with a very, very long list of other evidence. Just because you've never read it, doesn't mean it's not there if you were such a coward and took a look.
UNFOUNDED??? R U F'N SERIOUS!! Now if only the 12 bodies of the innocent Paiute tribe children were UNFOUNDED, How can u be so insensitive. This was all planned to spread tribes so far away and colonize and erase their culture and heritage so they would forget customs and give over everything. No Paiute ppl asked them to educate and reprogram their children. They abducted and forced if not like these 12 Unfortunate "students" murdered and tossed in a pit under the fantastic opportunity u mention of a school. "Sure stranger, take me to school, forget my fam, who needs one anyway". We are an embarrassing race. ❤BREAKING
My father told me stories of how he, sisters and brothers were taken from home and taken to Calif to a Boarding School. He was 3 yrs old. Sad stories best not remembered.
@@lhl9010 Tell my Dad that and his Sister my Aunt, who had to take him in the girls restroom, sit him on the counter and use the restroom. Then help him to. You know nothing if you believe what Gov says.
because there was TB the 1918 flu, no antibiotics until the 1960's few doctors, etc, the number of pepole dying in the general population was usually higher than at the schools.
@@lhl9010 huh? This school closed a decade earlier. My GG Grandfather died of the Spanish flu- we don’t need a history lesson about colonization either… Next you’ll tell me about the Bear River massacre and how the tribe all converted to Mormonism. 🤦🏽♂️
My Father, Tommy Rexford, was the one that got rid of those “Schools” for the Natives, in 2 different countries. People have a tendency to forget just how many of them there were, every community had at least two or more. When he got rid of them in the early 1980s, people all over this country, as well as Canada, we’re working like busy busy, busy bees, tearing down and destroying as much evidence as it was that they could, and if you remember a 1983, most of the lower 48 as well as Canada, were on Fire, because white people could not dismantle as quickly as possible, they were setting everything ablaze. People need to remember who my Father was & what he did for the people that nobody else cared about, in 2 different countries. The real stories, and the real histories needs to come out, people need to learn & people need to learn how to care.
they died of disease and the lack of antibiotics which were not available until the 1960's, the death rates were higher in the general population at home than at the schools.
@@lhl9010None of that is true. Native Americans were very prone to live long lives. We see it in pictures and historical logs. They lived off the land. Medicine, food, spiritual practices, along with ancient knowledge of how to rid their bodies of illness. Children were born exposed to everything. So their immune systems were stellar. White man forces them into something sinister. They endured horrific abuse of allllll kinds. Unsanitary lodging, depression, starved.....few probably did die of disease. Antibiotics were introduced as early as 1908. Not an option for those kids tho. Theres a reason you dont see death certificates or death logs on them. They didnt die of disease.
the chiefs did it by insisting that the children be educated, illness did it by TB and the flu and the lack of medicine, the number dying in the general population was usually higher than those at the school. just typical looking for someone to blame.
Utah was Mexican territory until 1848, when it became US territory after the Mexican-American war. Utah was granted statehood (as opposed to territorial status) in 1896. This boarding school was in operation in the early 1900s, over half a century after it was officially US territory, and a decade after Utah became a state.
It was not that long ago, and it was US federal and state policy to assimilate the native people. It took decades and decades to realize that children need parents not teachers raising them, then they switched to foster families during the school year and summers back on the reservation. The problem with the children not attending school needed to be addressed but most everyone lived very far apart on the reservations on ranch land and it would take a bus hours to gather them and hours to drop them off, and then there was the poverty such that children were pulled from school to work the farm and ranch. This was a problem in many rural areas whether they were natives or settlers.
Unfortunately there are people and politicians who will call this WOKEISM. They would rather sweep this true history under the rug, because they do not want to be challenged, called out or revealed for the true support of human DARKNESS.
asking for money are you, there is no going back only forward, take a learning from the past and move forward, that is what the ancestors did. trying to start the corruption that was started in other countries, enough
@@LamaniteLivingthat's not true plenty of people crossed the mid West and could've taken advantage of the school and children maybe they were their own people too that schooled them seems strange they would send them off to a private school weird in my opinion the 12 bodies could mean they died of fevers and deases utah was different back then harsh winters and summers. They say the children worked where obviously not at the school I'm confused seems like an over reach to cliam the students were used to work when the town wasn't a city and why the parents sent their kids away sounds strange
@@juliaweber212"Indian Schools" were a federal thing, the US government was ultimately in charge. Canada had a similar system. Catholics, Mormons, and other religions sometimes helped the government in operating the schools or in arranging placement of students. The boarding school system (and the "host family" concept that followed it) occurred in Utah for about a century (1870s to 1970s). It was branded as a way to help native children from rural reservations receive an education. In many instances it wasn't optional. The children were removed from their families, forced to assimilate into white Christian culture, and sometimes (as mentioned here) forced to do hard labor. Yes they did get an education, but the cost (and some argue the ultimate goal) was erasing native heritage and culture.
@juliaweber212 Of course you don’t wanna believe that it was the Mormons and that is why this is not the land of the free. There is only one race that believes in stripping people of their rights , true equality and most of all their culture. What other race in this world believes in such cruelty? SMH
I seen and lived it as a little kid in the schools in utah in the 1960's. The history they where teaching was not correct. And thinking as a little boy as having more than 1 wife was strange ha ha but as a man now I could see the adventure in that 😂
