In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the United States government forced many Native American children to attend Christian, English-speaking boarding schools that forbade Native American languages, traditions, and practices. The practice resulted in tearing apart families, trauma for children in these boarding schools, and a loss of Native American memory and tradition.

Monday host Patty Peltekos speaks with Christine Diindiisi McCleave, Executive Officer of the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, about ways Native Americans are healing from the U.S. Native American Boarding School policy.
