Ep14: Part One - Reclaiming Our History, with Josue Hernandez
HISTORY & STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL 'INSTITUTIONS':
In Part One - Josue & I dive deep into the history and the heart-wrenching stories of survivors. The indigenous youth were treated as animals, being sexually sterilized, inoculated with smallpox–thousands eventually dying–and even fed small portions of food sometimes to the point of starvation to test the limits of the human body. These are children we are talking about being used as lab rats.
