I would like to ask the Obama Administration to help provide more funding to Indian Boarding schools. As a former student, and friends/ family with current Indian Boarding school goers, I see how underfunded these establishments are. For years, Indian boarding schools were used to assimilate our people, but today many Native American boarding school students and staff will tell you that the times have changed. Some feel it's the only place they can find their culture, especially if they live in cities, where many cultures and traditions are rarely practiced. My hope for this campaign is to create awareness if anything, Native Americans are often forgot about about, if you visit an Indian Boarding School these days, it is proof, often the Campus' conditions are very poor, outdated,& rundown
