(Video) Native American Youth Use TikTok to Spreads Awareness On History of Native American Boarding Schools

This native American youth is using her platform on Tiktok to educate the people about Native American boarding schools.

Many families in America would often refuse to acknowledge the horrible truth that would probably rise up more conflict. American culture has been brought up by countless genocides and colonizing, and history has been whipped to take care of the country’s image.

Currently, the United States is home for all races from all over the world, and peace has been achieved for a long time but the people who were affected by the massacres still could not forget.

The user @thatonenavajogirl is hoping that her content would spread the awareness of the history that has been wiped out.

In the 1860s, the Navajo populations and all the Natives all around the country were moved by the U.S. government and forced to attend a boarding school so they could entirely be adapted to the American-European culture.

These populations would lose their sense of identity and forced to move away from their origins, leaving them behind to take the new.

Tatiana Tom was raised on the Navajo reservation, where she would share videos and Tiktok of her life and the history of her ancestors.

In the video, it also shows a fellow Native that had experienced the history that was hidden for so long, and he tells that he was very scared at what he had gone through.
