It is becoming such a cliche to paint all Indian boarding schools as abusive institutions that did/do not have the best intentions of their students in mind. Both of my grandparents attended Indian boarding schools in Oklahoma and they have nothing but good to say. The events that led to their attendance are another issue, and obviously unfortunate, but taking into account the plight that their people were in at the time, it was better for them to learn skills that could help them succeed in the future. No telling where they would be now had they not. It is true not all natives had good experiences, but it would be refreshing to hear another native point of view for once. I do look forward to watching the film though.
