A school superintendent on the Wind River Indian Reservation discusses how the legacy of federal Indian boarding schools continues to affect Indigenous students today. Plus, KHOL Spanish-language correspondent Alicia Unger reports on why some local LGBTQ Latinos say they face extra challenges when it comes to coming out.
