In search of lost cemetery, dig aims to uncover remains of Native children at defunct boarding school

The former Genoa Indian Industrial School, which operated from 1884 to 1931, housed nearly 600 Native students from over 40 tribes in an effort to assimilate them into white culture.
Up to 80 children who died at the school are believed to be buried in a cemetery whose exact location has long been forgotten.
Archeologists have begun excavating a field in central Nebraska where ground-penetrating radar detected anomalies that could indicate graves.
The dig aims to determine whether the site contains human remains and reveal details about the children's lives and deaths.
Decision on handling any remains will involve state officials and Nebraska's Commission on Indian Affairs.
