Dewey Schanandore, a Wisconsin residential school survivor.
Dewey’s road to healing: A Wisconsin Native American boarding school survivor’s story
​​In the 19th and 20th centuries, thousands of Native American children were sent to schools run by the federal government and churches.
​
Many suffered abuse at those schools, where the goal was to erase Indigenous cultures starting with the communities’ children.
​
Today we have the story of a Wisconsin survivor of one of these schools. His name is Dewey Schanandore. When he was a child on the Menominee Reservation, he went to a Catholic school called St. Anthony’s. He also briefly attended St. Joseph’s.
​
Dewey's story is not unique and offers firsthand insight into this troubling time.
