Contribution long abstract:
Preston McBride explores how American Indian boarding schools transformed Native North America by restricting Indigenous economies, altering migration patterns, and forcibly relocating approximately 250,000 Indigenous children. These schools were carceral: there, children contracted lethal diseases and died in large numbers. McBride’s transdisciplinary research draws on epidemiology, history, and Indigenous studies to expose the settler-colonial logics that led to Native American erasure and transformation of Indigenous communities.
