<\/p>\r\nGenoa was open from 1884 to 1934, one of the many Indian boarding schools that removed Native children from their families and subjected them to a strict assimilation program. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nCarlson and other Genoa residents have been working with Native communities to preserve and learn from Genoa\u2019s troubled history.<\/a>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“They started saying, Mom and Dad never talked about their time here because it was like just something you did not talk about,” Carlson says on the Reconciliation Rising podcast<\/a>. “But then they started telling their families about the school and what happened and what they did.”\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“And we feel that this was the start of a healing process for those students and for their families to know,” says Carlson.\r\n
