Cheers.

It is incredible and sad that humans did those things to children. There is also an episode of Reservation Dogs that addresses this tragedy.

Love the pod since day one! Thanks for shedding light on this topic, which is rarely discussed, and some probably want forgotten.

Finally caught up on @littohpod.bsky.social with @jamiejirak.bsky.social & Tony, regarding the commentary on schools that are forced to erase the culture of indigenous children while abusing them. I recommend watching the documentary Sugarcane.
