A New Door Opening for Truth and Healing

   "The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) supports the re-introduction of the bill for a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the U.S. Act. Today, September 30, we are honoring a National Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian Boarding Schools and calling for a full accounting of the devastating impacts of the Indian boarding school policies that tore away generations of Native American children from their families and communities. NABS is grateful to Senator Elizabeth Warren, and the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Native American Caucus, Congresswoman Sharice Davids and Congressman Tom Cole, for their leadership in introducing this legislation, as well as all the bipartisan support and co-sponsors thus far.
   This bill, along with the Department of the Interior’s Federal Indian Boarding School Truth Initiative announced this June, signals that the federal government is finally ready to acknowledge the devastating consequences of the assimilative boarding school era and begin to address the ongoing intergenerational impacts of the boarding school policies. NABS urges all members of Congress to support this legislation as a first step towards the truth and healing process."
