Quote from Richard H. Pratt, founder of the first Indian boarding school, Carlisle Indian Industrial School. This digital story is about an Indian Boarding school experience.

US Government and Christians develop a joint plan to rob Indian children of their culture. “Missionaries are soldiers in disguise”

“Our Spirits Don’t speak English: Indian Boarding School” is a Native American perspective on Indian Boarding Schools. This DVD produced by richheape.com uncovers the dark history of U.S. Government policy which took Indian children from thier homes, forced them into boarding schools and enacted a policy of educating them in the ways of Western Society. This DVD gives a voice to the countless Indian children forced through a system designed to strip them of their Native American culture, heritage and traditions.

Interview with french subtitles :
La compagnie Rich Heape Films a réalisé de nombreux documentaires sur les Amérindiens parmi lesquels je vous propose de visionner le reportage touchant d’Andrew Windyboy, indien Cree, qui étant jeune a subi le traumatisme des pensionnats pour jeunes amérindiens.
Ces pensionnats avaient pour but de civiliser les autochtones en utilisant des manières finalement peu conventionnelles (sévices physiques et moraux). Le gouvernement avait donc pour objectif de “tuer l’indien au cœur de l’enfant”.
