FASCINATING, Jessica. Last week I read Melissa Gilbert's BACK TO THE PRARIE......and now you entice what's left of my brain, by bringing me Dr. Chugh!!
Twice a month or more I volunteer in Phoenix at the Heard Museum of Native American Art.  Tourists often seem shocked by what they see in the exhibit on American Indian schools. Shocked that churches & our government were complicit in kidnapping children -physically, sexually abusing thousands & definitely emotionally abusing all of them and rarely returning them to their families. Powerful comprehensive exhibit.
The stain of slavery & genocide of Native Americans will never be removed from the American psyche by ignoring it- it must be exposed explained and taught.
Visit Heard Museum for education and Art! And -stop in the shop to say hello!!!
Good interview. Would be improved if it discussed negatives from all groupings. The Americas had wiped out much of the local large fauna excluding the buffalo long before Europeans arrived. Human sacrifice was pretty brutal and even evidence of cannibalism. Not excusing or blaming. But thorough airing of the past would include issues such as these.

Thank you for this stellar interview, Jess. Excited to read Dr. Chugh's book.
