After a 3 year investigation, the federal government has acknowledged that it invested $23.3B (adjusted) on a boarding school system to break up #Indigenous families and communities, and destroy language and culture.

The report suggests that the US should invest that same amount of money in family reunification, language revitalization, and Indian education to help repair the havoc wreaked by 400 schools from 1871 to 1969, which killed at least 973 children.
