From the late 1800s to the early 1970s, Natives were forced into boarding schools, where they were violently punished if they practiced traditional ways or spoke their native language, most of which were orally passed down.
Från sent 1800-tal till tidigt 1970-tal tvingades ursprungsbefolkning till internatskolor, där de straffades våldsamt om de  firade traditioner eller talade sitt eget språk, vilket oftast fördes vidare genom tal.
