In our continuing exploration of a more honest and complete vision of American history, Reel Time will discuss Episode 5 of The Trail of Tears - Our Spirits don’t speak English - Indian Boarding Schools. Watch this film at your home on Amazon Prime, then join our discussion on August 25, 4pm on Zoom.
Although this film was made more than ten years ago, this topic has made headlines recently with the horrific discoveries in Canada of hundreds of bodies in unmarked graves at their schools for indigenous children. You may wish also to read The New York Times article from June 23, 2021 “U.S. to search Native American Schools for children’s remains” and/or listen to the the NPR episode of “On Point” from July 28, 2021- Canada’s Indigenous School Survivors."
