Native American schools project concludes with survivors feeling honored
A Native American boarding school oral history project is concluding in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after collecting testimonies from over 360 Indigenous survivors across 19 states. The project aims to document systemic abuse and the impacts of forced assimilation policies that lasted for over a century, with testimonies preserved in the Library of Congress. Survivors shared stories of physical and emotional abuse, cultural suppression, and personal healing, with the collection highlighting the intergenerational effects of the schools. The initiative, led by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition and the U.S. Department of the Interior, continues to seek broader inclusion and further projects on this history.
