School Presentation

I was fortunate to be able to talk on Wednesday to the faculty at Sho-Ban School http://www.sbd537.org/ about the upcoming Journey and to see how the Sho-Ban students could get involved. The school's history teacher is interested in doing a project about the schools this semester and asked for some links to get more information about the schools. Some of the best info comes from Canada, as they have done more than we have in telling the story of what happened at the schools. Good school resources include: http://www.kporterfield.com/aicttw/articles/boardingschool.html, and http://www.wherearethechildren.ca/en/home.html, which includes a virtual tour of one of the school. An interesting sidenote, the school principal Dr. Shortman, rode in the Wounded Knee Commemoration ride several years ago and is a big advocate of these types of events - rides, walks, run, etc. - to raise awareness in Native communities.
