The Dialog: Unveiling of list of Catholic-run Native boarding schools allows for ‘subsequent generations to achieve healing’. “On May 9, [Maka] Black Elk and a group of archivists, historians, tribal members and other supporters unveiled a list of some 87 Catholic-run Native boarding schools that had operated in 22 U.S. states prior to 1978. The schools were among more than 400 overseen by the U.S. federal government in the 19th and 20th centuries, with many sites operated by Christian churches and organizations.”
