Thanksgiving Day play, Indian boarding school, location unknown (1900) by the Minnesota Historical Society

If you have followed Stuff about Minneapolis for a while, you know I rarely add any commentary to pictures that I didn’t take. But to see these faces on the children of this photograph from the Minnesota Historical Society just breaks my heart.

Happy Thanksgiving America.
