This interactive presentation will focus on understanding the history of one particular former Indian boarding school (now Red Cloud Indian School), address the challenges produced by that history and seek to understand what the future might hold for the possibility of healing. Questions to ponder include: What must the Church do to reckon with this history? How can we imagine a Catholic faith that rejects the colonial project?
