Boarding School Healing

Native American children were forcibly abducted from their homes and put into Christian- and government-run boarding schools beginning in the mid 1800s and into the 1950s. This offense was pursuant to a federal policy designed to “civilize” Indians and stamp out Native cultures; a deliberate policy of ethnocide and cultural genocide. We work to create the space for our Native nations to heal from the boarding school policy.
