Deer Lady from Reservation Dogs and Elk Head Woman from Stephen Graham Jones' book The Only Good Indians is the horror team-up we need.

I'm always a little behind on TV so I only just watched the Reservation Dogs episode that addressed boarding schools. I watched the above documentary a while back and it was very affecting. There are loads of other documentaries you can pick from on YouTube. Don't let the past stay buried.
I don't know if enough Americans are fully aware of how intense Kaniehtiio Horn's life has been (Tanis in Letterkenny). I imagine her onscreen rage is sincere. Her family is remarkable.
The last federally-funded indigenous boarding school in Canada shut down in 1996. I was a sophomore in high school. This is recent history.
