My great grandfather was among those taken, but the man never stopped speaking his native tongue. Even with all the beating and horrors he endured, he remembered his father and mothers pride when they taught him of his culture. And never forgot it. When my grandmother was born, she was lucky enough to learn the language as well. We never and will never forget our heritage of where we came from. No matter where we end up. I take pride and admire my grandfather's courage, regardless of all his loss. He never let anyone tell him what to be. I only knew him for 6 years of my life, but he brought so much life and joy to the people around him. It was a privilege knowing him. 🙏🫶

My dad was a residential school survivor. He remembered getting his hair cut off and his skin scrubbed raw with the white powder the schools used. Before he passed, he started talking more and more about his experiences. Sometimes I still cry for the little boy he once was, I can’t imagine my own child being taken from me now and having no choice but to let them go. He was just 3 when he was taken.

They would cry when they were getting their hair cut because they thought their mothers died this breaks my heart

I'm Anishininew (Oji-Cree for the colonized term) and my grandmother was among the children who were taken into residential schools. Her name is Dorothy Nepinak Betz and I suggest searching her name up, she actually has a little video here up on Youtube called "Ojibway Grandmother Dorothy Betz tells tragic residential school story." yk, I've heard that she advocated for indigenous peoples and women's rights and I am amazed by her. Unfortunately, I never got to meet her because she died a little after I was born but I did get to meet my great grandfather of whom she married, I visited him often until he passed on aswell

My Grandpap survived Carlisle Indian school. He was a strong, gentle and kind man. I miss him.

They did the exact same thing to the indigenous Australians. School doesn’t like teaching kids about it

School always made this try and seem like it was hundreds of years ago. My oklahoma history teacher hated me because I always pointed out that it was just 2 generations before me. My grandfather grew up in a boarding school. They cut his hair, beat him if he spoke our language, and forced Christianity into his everyday life. We're still here. We're still standing.

I will never forget a Navajo elder telling the story of when shewas a girl going with her parents to pick up her big sister from a school as a child. Her sister being brainwashed broke her parents hearts when she said she wouldnt go home with them 💔. The pain in that grannys voice when she said how her and her parents were hurt in that way made me cry .

White man who grew up with Pima and Navajo. I love the native culture and people. I pray we can heal and become one people with our cultures and desires in tact. One respecting the other, one lifting the other.

Love produces much more power than hate and can heal all things. May my love for you all be felt by you all.

Love and respect.

this is why The Marrow Thieves is such an important book. it’s not just an activist sci-fi. it’s a warning, and a reminder of history

My grandparents sponsored some Navajo girls, starting when I was a baby. When I was older, I asked my grandma why they were living with her and she said it was so the girls didn't have to live in a bad place. She told me that girls got hurt in the bad place. I didn't understand, I was just too young.
My earliest memories are of those girls singing and talking to me in Navajo. I thought they spoke a magical language and could call the fairies and spirits.
Many of my grandparents friends did the same thing. It is horrible that the government took these kids away from their parents but I'm glad that my grandparents did what little they could.

I agree. I think our country needs to establish a National Native American/Indigenous Peoples History month.
