Documentary Uncovers Delayed Justice for Sexually Abused Indigenous Boys
PBS' Frontline and The Wall Street Journal jointly reported this month that the United States Indian Health Service (IHS) spent decades ignoring and silencing people who accused Dr. Stanley Weber of sexually assaulting Indigenous boys. "Predator on the Reservation," which was made available for free streaming following last night's (February 12) broadcast, chronicles Weber's crimes and the fight to hold him accountable.
