This article is dedicated to Kavika who has taught me so much about Native American culture. I hope I do the subject justice.
In the 1870's, The United States was still at war with the Native Americans who occupied the land before Europeans ever touched shore. In an attempt to solve the 'Indian problem', the United States government helped fund religious organizations who then opened religious boarding schools. These schools would heap horror upon the Native American children sent there right up till the 1980's.
