It cannot possibly be a coincidence that this level of abuse could occur at EVERY Indian Boarding School. "Kill the Indian - Save the Man" was not just a metaphor. Metaphors do not require graves!
The slogan never should have been "Every Child Matters!" That was like responding to "Black Lives Matter" with "All Lives Matter." We should have used "Native Children Matter" or "Our Children Matter."

The sad part is, we aren't showing much concern for Deb Haaland's whitewash of this American Genocide either.

I am interviewed by Agnes Williams of the Indigenous Women's Initiative. We cover the Seneca Gaming conflict with NYS and displacement in the gaming market by the State.
