National Native American Boarding school Healing Coalition

The project is part of the continued documentation of the U.S. government’s forced assimilation of indigenous children

Last week, 21 members of U.S. Congress signed a letter calling for the Indian Health Service to provide more resources to support those affected by Federal Indian Boarding Schools.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland this week released plans to address the U.S.’s fraught history with federally run residential schools aimed at assimilating Indigenous children into white Western culture.
