St Joseph's Indian School used young Lakota children in a television fundraising commercial today. It was broadcast on the Food Network.
Several Native children were used in the commercial for the school, operated by the Catholic Church in Chamberlain, South Dakota, with a history of horrific abuse.
Nick Estes, Lower Brule, describes the sexual abuse and beatings of Lakota who attended the school. It led to suicides.
Estes said the pedophiles and rapists at the school terrorized the children and girls who were impregnated by the priests.
