Rosebud Sioux Bury Remains of Indigenous Children Who Died in U.S. Gov’t Schools

HeadlineJul 19, 2021

The remains of nine Indigenous children were buried Saturday by the Rosebud Sioux in South Dakota after being transferred back from the former Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. On Friday, another ceremony was held at a Missouri River landing near Sioux City, Iowa, where the children departed their homes, ripped from their families, over 100 years ago, as part of the cultural genocide orchestrated by the U.S. government. We’ll have more on this later in the broadcast with Christopher Eagle Bear.
