With both grief and relief, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe welcomed the return of nine children who were buried at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania 140 years ago.

The effort took more than six years and was driven by young people from the tribe.

It’s part of the ongoing effort to repatriate remains from the U.S. boarding schools that aimed to assimilate Native children.
