My Chippewa grandpa was forced into boarding school. When heâd get drunk heâd yell about his American name not being his true name. Truly sad, but Iâm dedicated to finding out his true name and identity not his white washed one.

Mine did too. She refused to speak about it. The only thing she ever mentioned was that she would count to ten in our language to make sure she didnât forget it. They had taken so much from her that that was all she had left. Thank you for sharing your grandmothers story.

My friends mom had scars on her hands/fingers from wooden rulers. She would get smacked for not speaking english.

My Choctaw great grandfather was sent to a residential school as a child. Unfortunately he died before I was born. I'll never get to know his story from him, but today I remember what he went through. I know he had a white step father and it sounded like he only wanted his biological children present so Sam, my great grandfather, and WM, his brother, were sent away. He also eventually moved to California. I may have never known him, but I am proud of him. He raised three children who were so proud of being Choctaw, despite what the school wanted to strip from him. His grand children were proud of being Choctaw (my uncle even went to work for the nation for a season). Today I, his great granddaughter, have incorporated my Choctaw heritage in my life. I own full regalia, go to gatherings and pow wows, have met my chief many times, been back to the reservation, walked on the ancestral lands in Mississippi, and had a Choctaw wedding ceremony. I will never forget what happened to him and even before with the Trail of Tears. My five year old wore orange today too and these stories will stay with her as well. If I have my way, this family will never forget.

My family and I are 100% Navajo, from the Four Corners in New Mexico. Growing up
There was tough, rare to find decent Medical, Dental Care and education. It tends to traumatize u at a young age. Members of my own family including my husband grew up in the dormitory. It is a normal way of life. Even today there are children who live in dormitories and go to school on the Navajo Reservation and off the Rez. When i tell others these days they are shocked! Yes there are kids (Kindergarten to Seniors in HS) live in dorms.
When non natives are shocked that many youngsters donât speak our language anymore they are surprised. âWhat why! Donât u speak Navajoâ. There r times we get tired of the same questions, answering âbecause my grandparents, parents were punished & beaten, when they spoke their own language. They were told to speak English and only English!â This included cutting their long black hair! Making them wear âwhite man clothesâ.
So next time, please think about this before u ask.

This young woman is so well spoken. I think it took a lot of courage for her to share her story. Thank you for doing so.

My great grandfather was sent to one. He died before I was born and there are so many things I wonder about his life. I'll be wearing an orange shirt next week for him.

Iâm part Choctaw and Blackfeet and had no clue until a few years ago and two weeks ago, respectively. I am also related to Malcolm X and I wish I had grown up knowing that, especially knowing now that I grew up in Dr. Betty Shabbazzâs neighborhood. I just wish I could have known, but my paternal grandmother feels itâs a negligible amount. My maternal grandmother seems to have been ashamed of our connection and was in denial about it. Maybe it was too painful for her, I guess.

My grandfather escaped residential school. Twice.

Great job buzzedfeed for bring awarness

I was finding this really fascinating and enjoying it immensely, until I got to the text on the screen. If you made it any smaller I don't think even ANTS would be able to read it!! So I lost that portion of the story &I have no idea how important, or unimportant, it might have been, but it's really frustrating to know that I've missed out on something to do with his story simply because the text was too small to read! It didn't help that the text didn't remain on the screen long enough for me to even pause the video so I could get my glasses to try and read it. Please try to keep in mind that many of your viewers have difficulty with their eyes and would appreciate large enough text to read on the screen!

My grandmother was Mohawk of the St Regis Mohawk nation and she was sent to Thomas Indian School at age 10 and survived until she graduated and went to a hospital run by nuns to become a nurse. The fact that she made it out alive was a miracle! And itâs my grandmother! My fatherâs mother. This history is RECENT.
