Victims speak about past horrors of Indian Boarding Schools

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Department of the Interior and its Secretary Deb Haaland have been on a nationwide tour called the Road to Healing. It’s part of an initiative to address the abuse and neglect Native American children went through in Federal Indian Boarding Schools across the country from the 1800s to 1970s.
