The "All Member" art show will be on exhibit until January 7, 2023. Each member was allowed to submit one piece of art, so it's a pretty eclectic collection! I dedicated my image below to all the native  children taken from their families and forced to live in  barren, military style boarding schools starting in 1819 - 1969. These schools existed across the USA and Canada. Most children suffered in those boarding schools one way or another, some dying at their school for unknown reasons. Staff had no background checks done on them back then. Children were freely punished physically for being who they knew themselves to be. Other traumas  went unchecked. Records are lost due to lack of transparency, and lack of concern.
