m SHOCK: More than 50 secret burial sites of Native American children revealed—Are the ghosts of American boarding schools returning?

September 30 is more than just a day in history—it’s a day of silent national mourning that America is being forced to confront. It is National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools, a painful milestone that marks a horrific truth that has been hidden for decades: the cultural genocide of Native children.

More than 150,000 Native children were forcibly removed from their families and villages and placed in boarding schools run by the U.S. government and religious organizations. The goal was not education, but the complete eradication of a culture.

“KILL THE INDIANS, SAVE THE MAN”
A chilling quote from Richard Henry Pratt, founder of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in 1879, perfectly sums up the philosophy behind this system of more than 350 schools: “Kill the Indian, save the man.”

Children were stripped of their language, traditional clothing, and spiritual rituals. Violence was rampant—from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse to forced labor and starvation. It was a psychological war against childhood, where torture became the daily curriculum.

But what was most shocking was what happened to the children who never returned home.

HUNDREDS OF SECRET GRAVES: INCREDIBLE EVIDENCE
A 2022 report from the U.S. Department of the Interior has revealed a chilling truth:

At least 408 schools operated between 1819 and 1969.

At least 53 burial sites have been identified—mass graves scattered across 29 states.

Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Native children are estimated to have died and been buried on school grounds without their families ever being notified.

These secret burial sites are undeniable physical evidence of a humanitarian tragedy. As investigations continue, this number is expected to skyrocket, making boarding school history one of America’s darkest pages.

LEGACY OF TRAUMA: Pain That Lasts Across Generations
The effects of residential schools extend far beyond the grave. Survivors carry silent pain and shame, passing on trauma to their children and grandchildren—causing profound disruptions in language, ritual, and bloodlines.

Yet, the truth is taking on new power. This event is a wake-up call to the American people about the importance of truth, healing, and justice. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland’s (the first Indigenous person in the cabinet) launch of the Federal Residential Schools Initiative and her proposal to create a Truth and Healing Commission are first steps.

The choice of September 30—along with Canada’s Orange Shirt Day—further underscores that this is a historical tragedy that spans North America.

Today, as we remember the children who never returned, let us ask ourselves: How long could a nation that worships freedom have kept this terrible truth hidden?

What is your opinion? Will confronting this painful history help America truly heal?
