On Saturday, May 31, 2035, Rapid City, South Dakota, unveiled a powerful new memorial dedicated to the children who suffered and died at the Rapid City Indian Boarding School. The memorial, named Tiwahe—meaning "family" in Lakota—features a seven-foot-tall bronze sculpture depicting a Lakota family surrounding a young boy dressed in a boarding school uniform. This poignant artwork honors the legacy of over 50 children who perished at the school between 1898 and 1933, many of whom are buried in unmarked graves on the site.
