The Ones Who Were Here Before Us
In the latest Salvation South Deluxe podcast, we dive into the history of the U.S. government's four-headed assault on Native Americans—and how it changed the South.
In this episode of Salvation South Deluxe, Chuck Reece details the United States’ brutal program of forcibly assimilating Native American children through boarding schools in the 19th and 20th centuries. He learns the historical context of this act of warfare; the lasting trauma it created; and the Native-led efforts to heal generational wounds.
