Join Dean Bryan Brayboy and Professor Megan Bang for a critical discussion on the Indian Boarding School Initiative's troubled legacy and its intergenerational impact. They'll examine recent findings on student deaths, burial sites, religious institution involvement, and federal funding of these schools.

Learn about policy recommendations for Congress and the Executive Branch aimed at healing and redress for Indigenous communities and the significance of President Biden's October 2024 historic apology for the U.S. Indian Boarding Schools program that sought to erase Native cultures and assimilate Native children.
