The John C. Culver Public Policy Center at Simpson College is hosting a seminar on the Iowa history of Native American children in boarding houses. Jonathan Buffalo, Director of the Meskwaki Museum of Iowa will discuss the disturbing history of Native American children who were forced to attend the boarding house schools, with an expectation to assimilate them, with often traumatic results.

The seminar will be today from 1-2pm in Hubbell Hall in the Kent Campus Center on the Simpson College campus.
