Native Spirit

They arrived before sunrise, and silence ensued. For generations, indigenous families in the U.S. and Canada endured untold pain as children were taken, languages lost, and identities erased for assimilation. Many children never returned home. Today, hidden graves are still found, a painful reminder of lives taken and stories unspoken. This history lives on, echoing through indigenous communities. Behind every empty space was a mother waiting, a culture fighting to survive. Remembering these children means preserving their stories.
