Holy Childhood of Jesus in Harbor Springs was an Indian boarding school funded by the U.S. government and run by the Catholic Church. The school closed in the ‘80s, and the building was torn down in 2007. It was the last of its kind in the country.
The vigil held there on the 4th of July was well attended and included a number of survivors. Our presence was a silent testimony to one of the difficult parts of our shared history. Meredith Kennedy, the organizer, respectfully engaged passers-by and handed out materials to raise awareness that what had happened to Indigenous children in Canada also happened right here in northern Michigan not so long ago. I saw many jaws drop as Meredith explained why we were there wearing orange.

IOWA CITY When Gov. Kim Reynolds’ administration arranged coronavirus testing at the office of the governor’s biggest campaign donors, it was the first time in weeks and last time ever the state would deploy a testing team to a private business, newly released records show.
Iowa sent so-called “strike teams” to conduct rapid on-site testing at 17 businesses during the pandemic in 2020, including some of the state’s largest and most powerful pork and beef companies, according to long-delayed records released Monday.
At least four of the companies that received strike team visits are owned by major donors to Reynolds’ campaign, including Iowa Select Farms, Lynch Livestock, Prestage Farms and GMT Corp., records show. Employees at the seed company owned by Iowa’s wealthiest man, the billionaire Harry Stine, also received testing by a strike team.
