Two tribes sue Doug Burgum and the Interior Department over boarding schools, alleging violations of federal law in their fight against the forced assimilation of Native American communities through the US government's role in maintaining racist boarding schools. The lawsuit comes after a report revealed the Biden administration's knowledge of the abuse at these schools since 2021. It specifically targets Montana Governor Doug Burgum and the Interior Department, accusing them of not doing enough to address the ongoing trauma inflicted on Native American families. The tribes are seeking compensation for their losses.
