Visit Villa Louis for engaging discussions on fascinating subjects.

Did you know that from the mid-17th century through the early 20th century, Europeans and later Americans forced American Indian children into boarding schools to remove their indigenous identities, cultures, and languages and impose a more "American" ideology? Join Grace Trenkamp, UW-Platteville senior and Effigy Mounds National Park interpretive park ranger, for a discussion on the troubling history of these schools and relations between indigenous communities and the United States Government.

This event is part of a monthly speaker series at Villa Louis. Check out the other events in this series here.
