How were you able to navigate such stories while also holding space for yourselves in healing?My grandfather went to Pawnee Industrial Boarding School. He was put there, his right was taken away from his family, he went in a fluent speaker. I can remember stories when I was little, him saying that they would wash his mouth out with soap — and that's all he said. It was deeply personal; my grandfather, that experience really impacted him.

This is American history. This is not Native American history. This is American history. So I think this is, in many ways, one of the most important things that we've worked on since IllumiNative was founded.
