Professor Brenda Child, University of Minnesota and Guggenheim Fellow
Government boarding schools went hand in hand with the American Indian land dispossession policies of the United States. Professor Child’s grandparents were among the thousands who attended the schools. She draws on her own family story to humanize the broader history of segregated Indian education.
