After many hands over many years, we now have a printed, final boarding school bill. Here it is, hot off the press straight from the office of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. #IndianBoardingSchools NABS Healing Coalition

Today, we released the final volume of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative's investigative report on our nation's troubled yet largely ignored boarding school era. It's an era that has impacted every Native person I know, including my own family. doi.gov/pressreleases/…

Volume 2 outlines recommendations to continue critical healing to address harms like intergenerational trauma that persist from this era. I am profoundly grateful to Bryan Newland and our staff for their courageous and deeply personal dedication to this mission.

Bryan Newland This is the first time that the federal government is acknowledging this painful chapter of our history - one that was facilitated by the Department I now lead. This work is not done. Our Road to Healing has not ended. It is just beginning.
