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.
