NABS Research Webinars

The truth about U.S. Indian boarding schools has largely been written out of the history books. Through our research webinar series, the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) is working to uncover and share this suppressed history.

August 12, 2025 Research Webinar

We invite you to join us for an upcoming NABS Research Webinar that centers truth, healing, and remembrance.

“Remembering the Children, In Their Memory, In Our Voice” will explore the history and enduring legacy of the Rapid City Indian School, a former U.S. Indian boarding school whose impact is still deeply felt today.

Featuring guest speaker Amy Sazue (Sicangu/Oglala Lakota), founder and executive director of the Remembering the Children Memorial in Rapid City, SD. Amy brings nearly 20 years of experience in Native-led nonprofit work across the Black Hills region, her efforts have centered on advancing initiatives that support Indigenous youth, education equity, and community reconciliation. A longtime resident of Rapid City, Amy is raising four children alongside her husband, Tracy, and remains deeply engaged in civic life through service on several local and statewide boards. She holds three associate degrees in Early Childhood Education from Bay Mills Community College, a bachelor’s degree in Education from Oglala Lakota College, and a Certified Fund Raising Manager (CFRM) graduate certificate from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. She is pursuing a Master’s in Nonprofit Management and Leadership at Arizona State University but has been on an educational hiatus while learning hands on through the creation of Remembering the Children.

Moderated by Markie Bear Eagle (Oglala Lakota) of NABS, who works closely with Indian boarding school Survivors to honor, preserve, and uplift their voices.
