Description
During James Monroe's presidency, Congress enacted legislation aimed at promoting education and assimilation of Native American tribes through Indian schools. This event will explore the complexities of 19th-century U.S. policy toward Native Americans, featuring personal stories and historical accounts about the enduring legacy of Indian boarding schools. Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A to understand how this history continues to impact lives today.
