Americans, especially members of the Native American community, are in shock following the revelation of over 500 Native American student deaths at US boarding schools.

A state of shock in America, especially among members of the Native American community following the identification of over 500 student deaths at US boarding schools.

The United States has identified over 500 deaths at its boarding schools that for over a century sought to assimilate Native American children into white society.

US Native Americans say a host of new Republican-backed bills that restrict or limit common voter registration and absentee ballot practices strip thousands of tribal citizens of the right to vote.

Black people, Latinos and Native Americans were undercounted during the 2020 national census, new US Census Bureau data showed, potentially affecting political representation and federal funding for communities with significant minority populations.

The discovery of 93 potential unmarked graves on the site of a former residential school is the latest discovery of the remains of scores of Indigenous children over the past year.

Native American Indians in the US call this day a day of mourning, for its marks a dark chapter in their lives in which their ancestral lands were taken away and their children forcibly removed.
