At least 78 Native American children died at Colorado boarding schools designed to strip them of their Indigenous language, culture and heritage, according to a new investigation recently published by the Washington Post. The newspaper’s yearlong reporting project — relying on government and boarding school records, newspaper obituaries, death certificates and other documents — found three times as many students died at these schools nationwide than the federal government previously had identified.

Dear Eric: My husband and I are seniors. We no longer host Thanksgiving and other holidays, as our youngest son has taken that on willingly. I still prepare a variety of dishes and baked goods which we take to his home. He has a lovely, blended family now, and everyone converges to enjoy food and time together.
