These schools deliberately separated students from families and cultural heritage and sometimes neglected health and physical needs. Global Ministries is among the United Methodist general agencies issuing a statement citing the schools as one of the shameful examples of “the deplorable treatment of the Indigenous people of North America by European colonists across 500 years.” Read the statement and the call to remember victims and survivors here.
