In collaboration with Race2Dinner, this powerful audiobook chronicles the disturbing history of boarding schools in the U.S., where Indigenous children were forcibly assimilated into white, European cultures over nearly a century. Through personal accounts of survivors, it reveals the traumatic impacts of removing children from their families and punishing them for their languages and traditions. This exploration not only highlights the resilience of Indigenous communities but also underscores the need to confront this painful past to better understand America's true history. The audiobook includes a downloadable PDF with a comprehensive list of boarding schools and resources for young readers.
