Honoring Healing and Remembering By: Arianna Morseau
On June 6, 2022, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan hosted its 88th anniversary of the closing of the Mt. Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School. The event, Honoring, Healing, and Remembering, is a day of memorial to recognize the suffering, strength, and resilience of the children who attended the boarding school from 1893 to 1934. Members of the Pokagon Band community, including elders, citizens, and the summer intern class attended the event. The Anishinabe Ogitchedaw Veterans and Women of Tradition started the day off at 7 a.m. with a Sunrise Ceremony at Mission Creek Cemetery. After the ceremony, participants were urged to drive to the Mt. Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School. On site, plaques of the names of approximately 225 students from the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways exhibit were handed out in order to honor the students who passed during their time at the school. Their exhibit features photos, historical documents, and videos of the boarding school. Please turn to page 5
