Introducing: Untextbooked

Bonus Episode in Partnership with UnTextbooked: Gavin Scott, currently a Sophomore at Columbia University, interviews Dr. Brenda Child, author of the book Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families 1900-1940 and his Great Aunt Babe. They talk about Native boarding schools across North America and how they affected the lives of the students that attended them (some of which were Gavin’s ancestors). It offers a look at a particular set of experiences at Native boarding schools and is not meant to be reflective of all boarding schools across the U.S. and Canada at all moments in history.

About UnTextbooked: United by their curiosity and a thirst for knowledge that extends beyond the classroom, the UnTextbooked podcast is a global student-led search for truth. UnTextbooked is not affiliated with Teach For America.
