More than 3,000 Native American children died in the custody of the U.S. government after being forced to attend so-called Indian boarding schools, according to an investigation by The Washington Post. That is three times the number of lives lost that the government documented in its own investigation released earlier this year. William Brangham discussed more with Dana Hedgpeth.
