  • I’m Shoshone living in northern Nevada and the stories I’ve heard about just from older family members is terrible. As a quick example, my father and his older sister were taken to a boarding school in the mid 60s in Montana, where they were repeatedly beaten, and my aunt was sexually assaulted and my father, who was also left-handed was repeatedly beaten for being left-handed. After returning home my aunt said that she could not stop washing her hands because she had felt that she was dirty because of the color of her skin.
