The Wider Image: Native American survivors of alleged boarding school sex abuse want justice
A mother holds her child following a birthday party for Frances Hart at the Fort Wagner Casino and Hotel on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota, U.S., September 9, 2021. Hart, 70, filed an unsuccessful civil lawsuit seeking damages for sexual abuse she allegedly suffered as a child at a Catholic-run boarding school on the reservation. The local Catholic diocese for years has contended in court proceedings that it’s not responsible for any purported harm because it didn’t operate the school or have direct oversight of the priests and nuns who staffed it.
