The news from Canada of unmarked graves being found on former residential schools sites where Indigenous children were sent from the late 1880s to the 1990s has been sending shockwaves throughout Canada and beyond.
Now, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland has announced an investigation into similar schools for Native Americans — like the Stewart Indian School in Nevada that operated from 1890 to 1980.
Stacey Montooth, director of the Nevada Indian Commission, joins host Robin Young to talk about Haaland's announcement and about Montooth's family's history at the Stewart Indian School.

Sounds familiar to what was found at Dozier School here in Florida.

shocking? absolutely. so why didn't the governments and whoever else ran these schools do something? because they thought/think that Native Americans are inferior. a time of reckoning is fast approaching. now, with an Interior Secretary who is Native American, maybe these childrens' murders will be dealt with properly. hold those officials accountable. charge them with multiple counts of murder. and make sure the trials are held on Native American land
