National Endowment for the Humanities Cuts Grants to Investigate Indian Boarding Schools
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has rescinded approximately $1.5 million in grants for digitizing records and collecting testimonies related to U.S. government-run Indian boarding schools. These institutions, operating from approximately 1819 to 1969, aimed to assimilate Native American children by eradicating their cultural identities.
