Panguitch Boarding School in Utah was one of many Native American boarding schools

In the 1900s, the Panguitch Boarding School in Utah was one of many Native American boarding schools aiming to assimilate Indigenous children. A photograph captured a group of Native American schoolchildren at the school, symbolizing the painful history of forced assimilation. The schools' policies stripped the children of their cultural identities, causing lasting trauma and cultural disconnection. Today, the photograph stands as a haunting reminder of past mistakes and the need for healing and preserving Indigenous heritage.
