Native American students in the throes of assimilation at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, c. 1900. haunting.

I legitimately just started crying. None of us who didn’t go through this, will ever know what kind of horror these poor children endured. I wish I could hug them all, and tell them how wonderful they are, despite anyone who told them otherwise.

one of my favorite things to study, as well as Australian native assimilation. unfathomable to believe they could do this to families, and even worse kids.
