A new report from the U.S. Department of Interior underscores what Native American families have known for decades: The longstanding policy of removing Native children from their homes and sending them to residential boarding schools had devastating and widespread impacts across the country.

That includes here in Michigan, which was home to several Native boarding schools, the last of which didn't close its doors until the 1980s. Today on the pod, what we know about the history and legacy of our state’s Native boarding schools.

GUESTS: 

Levi Rickert, publisher and editor of Native News Online and Tribal Business News and citizen of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation 

Fred Kiogima, retired from the U.S. Marine and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians
