the truth in indian commission on indian boarding schools act. we must be able to locate trade and government records beyond the department of interior's reach. the commission will locate and aloe all records on indian border schools -- boarding schools. the commission will hold the power to death, land, and other correspondence related to boarding schools. we must provide survivors the opportunity to testify and to tell their story as a child of boarding school and document ongoing impacts from boarding school. we must understand the full history. the full history of intergenerational trauma and how it relates to native, with regards to current impacts on physical health, mental health, spiritual health, and the health of our community. our children deserve to be found . our children deserve to be brought home. we are here for their justice. we will not stop advocating until the united states fully accounts for the jenny -- fully accounts for the genocide committed against native children. the time is now. praying that our languages come back wi

of whether the victim is a non-indian or indian. the answer to that question isha yes. there is a sovereign authority to punish crimes committed within its borders. no federal law preempts that authority as to the crimes committed by non-indians. over two statutes, the general crimes act and the public law 280. but neither of the statutes says anything about preemption. as the court explained the general crimes act incorporates the criminal law that applies in the federal enclave is. it doesn't go further and a addresses the state jurisdiction. and as the court has also explained, public law 280 simply expanded the criminal and civil jurisdiction of qualifying states. itqu did not somehow divest all states of the pre-existing jurisdictions. some members of congress may have believed h the states would otherwise lacked jurisdiction and doesn't give preemptive effects to govern itself and the offenders the court need not resort to the more flexible balancing approach that it is used elsewhere. but here, any balancing weighs heavily in

against indians indian country. for over 100 years running with this court's decision in donnelly the court has construed section 1152 and exactly that manner and begetting more than 80 years ago congress has repeatedly enacted laws to make clear that an act of congress is necessary to authorize a state to conduct such prosecutions.the roots of exclusive federal jurisdiction under the statute much deeper though. to the founding when the framers rejected the divided authority under the articles of confederation invested plenary power over indian affairs and the national government and the early congress invoked those powers by and acting section 1152's predecessors to prevent violence that could lead to war and further the nation's commitment to protect indians and the indians and their territories from federal encroachment while often hostile states and their citizens. this court should reject the proposition that it should overturn 100 years of settled understanding of this statute in this court and in congress by

land and the forced assimilation of indian people. the report explains that the federal government perceived this policy of assimilation by targeting indian children. several indian boarding schools where the primary means to carry out this policy. the report shows that all three branches of the federal government impacted the system. multiple generations of american indian, alaskan native and native hawaiian children were induced or compelled by the federal government to be brought to the schools. given their political and legal status as indians and native hawaiians, as recognized by the united states constitution and centuries of supreme court precedent and congressional legislation. for this investigation, the department first engaged and consulted with tribes, alaska native villages, alaskan native corporations, to incorporate their concerns and views into our work. through the bureau of trust funds administration, we identified and examined records to develop an official list and identify marked and unmarked burial sites. and in

we became the stockbridge indians or the stockbridge mohican indians. and that kind of stuck with us, you know, we consider ourselves mohicans mohican nation or lunape, you know, lenape indians, but yet we've got that colonized name coming with us that stockbridge name. and we what happens next is the american revolution starts, right? this is a war for independence. i'm not gonna lie to you. i love early colonial history. i find it very fascinating. i'm like the world's biggest nerd when it comes to this and i can receive it word for word. but what we don't talk about is that the mohican nation and other indigenous nations including those in the holden ashone or the iroquois confederacy, which would have been the oneida on the tuscarora fought on the side of the colonists, right? we served under george washington's, you know banner we were there. and what happens when we come back from war? is rather than forced out of our homelands again, we find that when we were all fighting for the freedom to form the united states. we were helping everyone we come

/indian boarding school policies. this investigation will be documented in meaningful public hearings and the commission will receive guidance from a truth and healing advisory board to develop recommendation for the federal government and a final report will be no later than five years after not. this legislation builds on the porton work -- and the important work. we saw in volume one of their orting school initiative report that the separation of native children -- boarding school initiative report that the separation of native children -- does not -- it expands and continues to acknowledge the legacy with the help of survivors, tribal leaders, policy experts and communities that can help by the process. i am sure you will learn more from our witnesses today, the impacts of boarding school policies have touched all native people. both past and present. i would like to acknowledge how painful and uncomfortable these future conversations are going to be. i honor and think the witnesses and survivors who are here toda

by 1925, 60,889 american 60,889 american indian and alaska native children were forcibly taken to indian boarding schools. our own country allowed children to die in federally funded schools as we've heard today. at least 533 burial sites for indigenous children in marked and unmarked graves exist across this country. and yesterday we heard about the department of interior in its report that confirm the united states directly used federal indian boarding schools as a system to dispossess tribes. 76 schools were in present-day oklahoma, 47 in arizona and 43 in my own state of new mexico. the report further calls for investigation on the legacy impacts of federal indian boarding school. it's undeniable these events have led to intergenerational trauma. american indian, alaska native children -- the same rates as veterans returning from war and iraq and afghanistan. of course they do. they have suffered harm as young children torn from their families. they suffer ptsd at triple the rate of the general population. h.r. 5444 well-established and much-needed commission to formally investigate

amy: you visited and reported on one particular indian boarding school, the carlisle indian industrial school in carlisle, for savannah, that was opened in 1879. can you talk about that as an example of what took pla around this couny? >> carlisle really became the archetype of off reservation indian boarding schools. in fact, the carlisle indian school, the first classes that entered were from lakota people, my natio specifically the pine ridge rosebud agencies because we had put up historic resistance against the act. it was a way to essentially break the tribal bonds of our people. so that first-class that went documented in luther standing bears two autobiographies that he wrote from the rosebud sioux tribe, he talked about these schools as not being so much schools but as prisoner of war camps they did not learn e abc's or language and mathematics and things you would expect to learn at schoo they learned a discipline. -- military diipline. colonel pratt was a militar man. this was a sange arrangement between the u.s. military and the department of interior to run this off reserva

office of indian affairs. they weren't appointed because of their skills or their abilities to work with native people, you know or things like that or even really to carry out the federal policies of the government as it in a relationships or or the treaty responsibilities of the federal government. they were appointed purely for political reasons and so often they had no experience with native people whatsoever and they were there to graft to make money that was a huge problem in the indian service of the period is. these indian agents and other workers regularly stole money and and still supplies. it was meant to go to native people as treaty guaranteed supplies or annuity of nudia payments were sent to the indian agencies to be distributed to native people very often these you know, lincoln appointees were you know skimming off the top or sometimes skimming from the top all the way through to the bottom in some cases? unfortunately, that's one of the causes of the us dakota war was you know, dakota people

and i look at the world through indian eyes. and what is happening today in eurasia, particularly between russia and ukraine, puts india in a very difficult situation. it increases the pressure that india is facing from multiple direction and narrows the space that india has to take decisions. so from that perspective, of course, india is not very happy. however, india at the same time recognizes that it is not a binary question of your either with us or with them. and therefore, india needs to exercise choices which reflect its national interest. india has had its own fair share of neighborly disputes, less put in diplomatic terms, but when it comes to the russians and ukrainians again, i want to rely on your personal expertise or personal experience of this region. do you think this huge bit then, you know, russia and ukraine, the 2 countries are the 2 people that used to pull themselves brothers? do you think it was inevitable? was in a way, mandate conflict with all conflicts between human beings or men? mean, they are not i

but from a perspective of an indian, i can understand what has led to this, this. now, the indian strategic thought has a long tradition and i'm not even trying to compliment your country, but i think there is a sudden de fashion approach to events, even though some would argue that perhaps the most recent government has taken on a more emotional on a more psychological tone, but generally speaking, the indians and many other powers have the skill of considering what's in their interest in what's not in their interest, even when they deal with something that they don't like. and i think what many russian analysts and noting in relation to ukraine and in relation to the west is the absence of they a strategic thinking capability. they call it, they the whole idea strategic thinking, because many of the decisions that nato are other big players are taking think to be contradicting their own mo, term interest as well. is that something that you also observe, or is it something that you would object to? can definitely disagree that this government is in india is a litt

the indian population was not part of the census until 1960. the growth in the american indian population contributes to the nation being more diverse. it increased from 5.2% to 9.7 million. in 86.5 percent increase. we are talking about this new report from the interior department on the abuse of native americans dating from 1900 to the 1960's. what was your reaction when you heard about this investigation? caller: are you still speaking to me? host: no, james and north carolina. caller: i was not surprised. this country has abused indigenous people, black people, anybody who is not a white, anglo-saxon has been abused in this country. what is different is that the country is trying to repair those injuries. they are trying to repair the injury inflicted. hr 40 which has reparations for black people has been languishing for 40 years. there is always a check ready for everyone else. i encourage all black people in november, stay home. don't vote until people talk about cutting your liberation check. host: from the hearing on capitol hill on thi

versus sue nation of indians. the supreme court recognized that they unilaterally changed the treaty. actions taken by the federal government were wrong in that sioux treaty. the taking of the black was wrong. the u.s. government violated the treaty. the supreme court ruled in favor of the lakota. they gave, i believe, 30 something million or $35 million and then an additional 1.100 million on top of that. basically, to pay for the value of the black hills so that the u.s. government will have bought it. to this day, that money has not been touched. how much money, do you know off the top of your head? it is somewhere in the range of several billion. it is increasing every day with interest. there is no real desire to take. and if they take the money, they are saying yes, it is perfectly all right for the u.s. government to have taken this land. >> i know there was an attempt at one point. the president wanted to get the money, but he was immediately rejected. >> there were a couple. from this there were a couple

look, you know, you'd be surprised at the number of indian americans or ethnic indians or working in the high tech industries united states. it's not very, very large number. the last i checked about 1300000 is probably much more about just indians. and we have about sued nearly 6000000 ethnic indians who are in the united states. the european union is a very short sighted. they don't mind somebody else being settling in in europe and didn't put it under the social facilities. was frankly, who's productivity, really much less than a software programmer or an engineer or a doctor from jen i about like now, but they're being short sighted, but i'm not going to call the races. they're being short sighted. but, you know, i do want to say on technology, for example, there's only a link between india and united states is not only made by go, it's only made by look good. i won't say live by citizens by companies, by day, well, tech companies. now, for example, an alumnis of my university. so the dealer is the chief of microsoft. you have another indian in, i mean what these people are in th

to the indian removal act. i want to make that clear. it's not like this created that but it made it easier. for people to support the indian removal. oh, there's golden in our hills. okay. yeah. sure. there'd already been a push to. remove some of this land from what are referred to as the five civilized tribes, right the the cherokee. muskogee or the creek the seminole the choctaw and the chickasaw right? i got all five, right? wow, okay adding's bad for me. okay. so they wanted there's already that movement that's going there and in 1830 congress passes the indian which empowers the federal government to send out negotiators. that's all it does. you can send out these negotiators to to create treaties to exchange lands in the southeast. for lands and what's designated indian territory right that portion of the louisiana purchase territory west of arkansas? the very first of these treaties is actually the treaty of dancing rabbit rabbit creek. with the the choctaw in 1831 and so they shine this agreement. to move from basically, georgi
