We Must Learn about this History

 (continuing coverage)


Deb Haaland, the U.S. interior secretary, is the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary.

As I read stories about an unmarked grave in Canada
where the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found last month, I
was sick to my stomach. But the deaths of Indigenous children at the
hands of government were not limited to that side of the border. Many
Americans may be alarmed to learn that the United States also has a
history of taking Native children from their families in an effort to
eradicate our culture and erase us as a people. It is a history that we
must learn from if our country is to heal from this tragic era.





WaPo: “Deb Haaland: My grandparents were stolen from their families as children. We must learn about this history.”
