This is SOOOOO important for our People to watch, to understand, to really heal as a people and become one with the Seen and Unseen Worlds again. I fully and completely agree with your message. I wish I were able to do more to get the word out, but will continue to repost this in hopes that more people will see it!

This is the most unadorned, potent account of this horror I've ever seen; my heart is aching. This should be required viewing in every school in America to awaken understanding in the minds of people whose lives have been so safe, so secure that they can't conceive of something like this happening. This isn't ancient history! It continued in MY LIFETIME. Thank you for recording this; it can't have been easy for any of you. That these people survived at all shows incredible strength and courage.

Thank you for this. My wife and I watched this and the film was correct when it stated that many people had little or no knowledge of these events. I felt a little ill at the beginning when 'Manifest Destiny' was talked about. I remember being taught that Manifest Destiny was a good thing, God given, it was our right. As whites we were not told of the genocide, at least when I was in school in the 70's and 80's. I am so hopeful that the truth becomes known and that the healing continues.

I watched this today & cried for the innocent abused children! My maternal grandmother attended boarding school but wouldn't let any of her children go. She never said why & never talked about it. I attended boarding school & found it to be some of the best years of my life! I was not abused in any way. I was lonesome at times but overall, I found my time at boarding school to be positive. When my children became high school age, I couldn't let them go because I would miss them too much.
