About this event
More than 523 government-funded, and often church-run, Indian Boarding schools existed across the U.S. in the 19th and 20th centuries. Native children were forcibly abducted by government agents, sent to schools hundreds of miles away, and beaten, starved, or otherwise abused when they spoke their Native languages. The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS), headquartered in Minneapolis, is the first and only national organization whose purpose is to advocate on behalf of Native peoples impacted by the boarding school policies. The organization seeks truth through education and research, justice through activism and policy advocacy, and healing through programs and traditional gatherings. Join us as we hear from Fallon Carey (Cherokee Nation), the Digital Archives Manager of NABS, who will speak about the work of her organization.
After the program, you are welcome to stay for an optional post-program discussion and treats from a Native American restaurant.
