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.
Dal tardo 1800 agli anni '70 del '900, i nativi furono costretti a frequentare i collegi dove erano severamente puniti se praticavano riti tradizionali, o parlavano la loro lingua nativa, molte delle quali erano trasmesse oralmente.
