Kaniehtiio Horn Instagram – My niece and I went to Washington DC and met so many inspiring Onkwehonwe people who are fighting for change.
Canada has been forced to face the atrocities their church and state committed against my people, the original people of Turtle Island, through their residential school system. It’s time for the United States to be held accountable for their equally as horrific Boarding schools in order for us all to move forward together.
Write your congresspeople, post to social media, spread the word because this is necessary. I’ve seen in my own lifetime in so called Canada, the positive changes that can happen when the past and the pain my people endured is acknowledged.
I was brought down there to share with house staff members my own experiences and thoughts on the subject. Uncle @wahkondahgrey said I “did sooooooo good” even though I was nervous as hell. I’ll post my speech later…
This bill will create a federal commission to investigate the harm caused by the U.S. Indian Boarding School Policy.
Indian boarding school survivors, their families, and all of Indian Country deserve the truth, justice, and a chance to heal.
