Michigan’s Attorney General has announced an investigation into Native American boarding schools that used to operate in the state.

AG Dana Nessel says her office is looking to identify, document, investigate and prosecute situations where criminal acts might have taken place.

WOOD-TV reports that Nessel’s office is investigating reports of verbal, physical, and even sexual abuse…as well as the loss of identity. They’ve been widely reported within Indigenous communities, but aren’t well-known outside of those areas.

Human remains were found on the grounds of 53 federal boarding schools, and the Department of Interior expects that number to increase.

Aren’t there enough modern crimes to investigate? Bet there is a lot of Fraud in Detroit similar to Minneapolis to look into. Probably $$Billions the line—MY MONEY By the Way. All the people that may or may not have treated native Americans properly are ALREADY DEAD. Seems there is a saying about beating a dead horse………….Why do so many morons manage to get elected to high office? Better Questionpecarlson52@gmasil.com: Why do so many moronic voters elect the morons to high office?
