Federal Investigations into "Indian Boarding Schools" are Now Happening in the USA

A PBS news report stated that, "A federal probe into Native American boarding schools has been under way since 2022, but, recently, a nonprofit group identified even more schools. The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has found 523 boarding schools operated across 38 states, including 115 previously unidentified schools that were largely run by Christian churches." ~ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/research-uncovers-role-of-churches-and-religious-groups-in-indigenous-boarding-schools

It is interesting that many of the Catholic/Christian schools were not in the initial lists of schools. But I'm sure it is well known by now, why these would want to be kept hidden. I wonder if any of the survivors of these Christian schools are still alive - if their minds are free to remember and tell the real truth about what happened to them and/or their relatives in those schools.
   I have no doubt that the Christian schools in the USA were just about the same as the ones in Canada; a lot of sexual abuse, and a lot of physical abuse, and massive levels of emotional abuse and neglect, and many strong and defiant and defenseless little children vanishing into unmarked graves around the schools or into rivers that were near some of the schools. Its an evil holocaust that was shockingly performed by people who pretended to be messengers of God/Love.
   Some of the covered up truths may never be fully revealed, but when we look with the heart of our own intuition/instincts, we can know the hell that happened to those children in those schools. I did this and was struck with a heart wrenching pain connected to the abuse of some of my relatives in a Catholic school in Canada. According to my dreams, some children were severely beaten (for resisting) and some were even intentionally killed in front of other children (like my mother) whom they wanted to frighten into obeying only the Catholic ways and abandoning their own. Sadly, many who survived the schools did obey and carried on parts of the horrid abuse. Much of the proof is in the inner condition of the survivors who do not know anything but what they were taught in those horrid schools.
   The resulting trauma and woundedness is VERY evident in the victims of the Catholic schools. Just like it was very evident in my mother, who turned to alcohol after she started facing her childhood in a Catholic school, because it was too painful for her to face alone in the 1970s. Many victims have not had the love and understanding and support they so desperately needed, but there is now hope that some will finally get it and will be able to complete a healthy grieving process, without any sort of interference.

I hope a Light keeps shining for the truths to be shown and for genuine healing to be completed as quickly as is possible.
