undErToLd Episode 2: The History of Native American Boarding Schools at CSBSJU
In this episode, Extending the Link speaks with various community members about the history of the Native American boarding schools that operated on our campuses. Both the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University occupy the original homeland of the Dakhóta and Anishinaabe peoples. We honor, respect, and acknowledge the Indigenous peoples forcibly removed from this territory, whose connection remains today. St. Benedict’s Monastery and St. John’s Abbey previously operated boarding schools for Native children. Now, students, faculty, and staff are working to repair relationships with our Native Nation neighbors.
