The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition is concluding an oral history project in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which has gathered video testimonies from over 360 Indigenous survivors. This project has given a voice to those who have been affected by the Native American boarding schools.
"The project has been a powerful tool for healing and restoration". The project has been ongoing, with the goal of honoring and restoring the stories of survivors.
The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has been working tirelessly to bring attention to this important issue. In Rochester, the Native American community has been affected by the legacy of these schools, with many residents having family members who attended these institutions. The Genesee River runs through the heart of Rochester, and the city is home to many Native American landmarks, including the Ganondagan State Historic Site.
The site is a testament to the rich history of the Native American community in the area. As the project comes to a close, residents in Rochester are reflecting on the importance of preserving Native American history and culture. The City of Rochester has been working to support the Native American community, with initiatives such as the Rochester Native American Community Council.
The council has been working to promote awareness and understanding of Native American issues. Looking ahead, the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition will continue to work towards healing and restoration, with a focus on supporting survivors and preserving Native American history and culture. A meeting is scheduled for next month to discuss the project's findings and next steps.
