The truth about the US Indian boarding school policy has largely been written out of the history books. The social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural devastation from boarding school experiences are passed down for Native American individuals, families, communities and Tribal Nations today. The time for healing these intergenerational traumas is now. Help us work towards truth, healing, and justice.
