National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition

The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition is an organization dedicated to addressing the history and ongoing impact of forced removal of Native children to government and church-run boarding schools. These schools aimed to assimilate Native youth by erasing their cultures, languages, and identities, often through unethical and abusive practices. The coalition works to uncover and share survivor stories, promote healing for Native communities, advocate for justice, and support efforts to preserve Native cultures and histories. Its goal is to foster understanding, accountability, and reconciliation regarding this painful chapter in Native American history.
