More Deja Vu - NBC can't be bothered to note these are quite historical revelations from 50 to 200 years old (no breakdown of how many post-ww2) and "burial" easily takes the connotations of mass murder, while like in Canada, a lot of implications of abuse were made easier by having say few living witnesses? I'm sure things were crappy during the Great Depression with much suffering and hunger especially in the West for everyone - how is this placed in context? (the link in the comment above provides some detail of the effects of remoteness and cut funding in the depression & war eras in Canada, likely parallel in the US, and the worse fate that most Native kids didn't attend a full-time school until the late 50s)
