This article is so interesting, it talks about how many Native Children were wrongfully taken from their families and put into orphanages. Just like the boarding schools!
This causes grieve and confusion on the child. Not only does the child not know their heritage or culture but they could be on the road to self hate or drug/ alcohol abuse. The only way to avoid this path is to understand and know your family and community. This is what the article addresses, a Native conference. This is to help rise the Native voice and keep the community strong. I like this article because it discuss what the next step toward the positive is, along with what has happened and is happening to the children of Native nations.
