The Red Nation Podcast has a long episode that goes in depth about the boarding "schools" from their own Marxist indigenous perspective. Always good to listen straight from the affected people's mouth.
Reading these horrific anecdotes I couldn’t help but be reminded of when I learned about the Third Reich’s abduction of Slavic children for Germanization. Doing some research, the similarities were striking: entrapment in unpleasant boarding schools, replacement of the original identities, lengthy separation from parents, punishments for speaking Polish, inadequate meals—the only obvious difference is that the German Fascists were pickier about the children’s ‘racial traits’.
…to give only one example. I know that this is a little off‐topic, but given that the conquest of the Americas was one of the Third Reich’s inspirations, it would be very surprising if the similarities between the “Indian boarding schools” and the “SS Home Schools” were entirely coincidental.
Red skin, white masks also tackles this, though I believe it focuses on Canada instead of the USA. Same issues, different borders. It's next on my reading list.
That doesn't surprise me, I meant more to say that the book, to my knowledge, is focused on the Canadian side of the border (I've only read the preface though so it could be that I'm just not yet far enough in if the US ones are addressed)
