  1. Many boomers still remember how they used to say the only good Indian is a dead one. They will have to face their own shame and ugliness as this gets more attention.

  2. A Forensic Methodology has been Provided on Court Record and with the FBI and Military.

  3. What's really crazy ironic is that the ones running those schools were the true savages.

  4. MANY, MANY CHILDREN NEVER MADE IT HOME AND NEVER WILL. πŸ’”

  5. I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈ
    Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love. That they are living in the truth being taught by Jesus. πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈ

    Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be free, forgiven, healed, delivered, saved, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ’•
    Ask anything in His name πŸ™ amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus πŸ™

    Show God, live for His gloryπŸ™. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. πŸ•ŠοΈ πŸ™πŸ’•πŸ”₯
    2 chronicles 7 14 says if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ’•πŸ”₯
    People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. They need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin, to live how He said. He dwells in the temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! πŸ’•
    Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to your loved ones. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. πŸ™
    He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey me. Praise God thank you Jesus in Jesus nameπŸ™

  6. My elderly family members were for forced into boarding schools. They gone now but their stories are with me. It hurts because they didn't deserve this.

  7. it's devastating. glad it's changing. but also consider what was happening then also when it happened. ignorance was high and the people trying to save the natives thought that was best…evil is always present…but you have to remeber it was started to try to save them from the people trying to wipe them out…how quickly that is forgotten….

  8. This really devastates me. I wish I knew more about my history and it is a huge goal of mine to learn who I am and where I came from. Looking at their faces I see several family members in them. From my mother to my grandfather to my cousins. I pray they get the justice they deserve

  9. it's sad what native Americans have had to go through and suffer through for hundreds of years because they were looked at like a threat and separated the children from their families

  10. It filled me with so much pride when the young lady said that they are the "only nation to defeat the U.S army."

  22. It should be done, but it won’t because the powers that be don’t care in the least. Look at reparations for slavery, it was written into law and has yet to become reality

  23. They should be granted the utmost money possible for the torture just to be separated from their parents and then the cruelty of those people and those horrible places give them their money America
