In Illinois, Native people are getting help to create a new cemetery for the remains of their relatives. ICT's Vincent Moniz reports. The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition does powerful work addressing the lasting harms of a troubled era. One key component of the effort is building a list of all the institutions involved and mapping them. ICT's Stewart Huntington visited with Deidre Whiteman from the coalition to talk about her database work. Current data shows Native American people are more likely to develop Alzheimer's, other forms of dementia, when compared to their White counterparts. Next month, the Native American Outreach Program at Banner Alzheimer's Institute will host its annual caregivers conference. Heather Mulder is the organization's associate director of outreach.
