A federal investigation has found that at least 973 Native American children perished in the U.S. government’s abusive boarding school system over a 150-year period.

    I was going to say that sounds a little bit low, but I guess most of the kids died before they got to the schools…

      It’s also definitely low, even if you only include the children that survived the genocide, pre-re-education/concentration camp.

      Doesn’t sound low as much as it sounds like you didn’t read the article.

        I’m sorry, I must have lost my copy of the code that unlocks the hidden bonus sections of the article where whatever you’re referring to is located, can I borrow yours?

          Sorry warlock, my replies were meant for rapidcreek. No idea why they went to yours as a parent comment. I assume you can tell.

            All good, Ive got about fifteen blank comments from you in this thread so I think some server hijinks are afoot

          Ah the Lemmy intellect, doubling down on what do you figure?

            What? Sorry I’m not trying to be shitty, I just genuinely am not sure what that means.

        Read the article, read articles about what they’re finding in Canada after actually looking, read some history, have some deep knowledge of surrounding issues like morbidity and mortality in the time frame. Also, grew up in the state and spent a lot of time on the Rez. Including that one. You couldn’t be more wrong.

    “At least” is doing a lot of work in that headline
