My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

The last few years have been hard on independent student newspapers, which rely on ad revenue and donations, as they've been on journalism more broadly. If you're cheering for the reporters at the Cornell Daily Sun (as you should) consider tossing a few bucks toward them or an equivalent publication
