Researchers digitize Native American boarding school archives

Researchers in North Dakota have begun digitizing records from a Native American boarding school, aiming to preserve and make the documents more accessible. The project, which includes enrollment logs, letters, and photographs, is part of an effort to illuminate the impacts of the boarding school system on Indigenous communities. This initiative is also seen as a step toward healing and supporting educational efforts for future generations.
