In May 2022, the United States Department of the Interior released a historic investigative report that officially documented the federal Indian boarding school system for the first time in over two centuries. The report identified 408 federally operated boarding schools across 37 states, along with at least 53 burial sites where Indigenous children who never returned home were laid to rest.

This documentary examines how the investigation came to be, why it took more than 200 years for the federal government to act, and what the report revealed about forced assimilation, cultural destruction, child labor, abuse, and mass death within the boarding school system. It also explores the personal role of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and the survivor testimonies that shaped this unprecedented reckoning.

Beyond statistics, this story centers the voices of Indigenous survivors and descendants whose lives were permanently affected by a government policy designed to erase Native identity. The investigation placed the boarding school system on the official federal record — but it also raised urgent questions about accountability, justice, and healing.
