2020 Boarding School Healing Webinar Series – Part 1: Understanding and Addressing the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools Through Examining Records

Leading in the pursuit of understanding and addressing the ongoing trauma created by the US Indian Boarding School policy, NABS was created to develop and implement a national strategy that increases public awareness and cultivates healing for the profound trauma experienced by individuals, families, communities, and Tribal Nations resulting from the U.S. adoption and implementation of the Boarding School Policy of 1869. This webinar session introduces the dynamic work that NABS has conducted, including the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive (NIBSDA), a first of its kind digital repository equipped with the vision of Indigenous data sovereignty and increasing accessibility to the records of over 367 Indian boarding schools that NABS has identified.

With the generous support of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) presents a three-part webinar series exploring the ongoing legacy of the U.S. Indian Boarding School era.
