National Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian Boarding Schools
Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Description
Along with our relatives in Canada, we will be honoring September 30 as a National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools. We must acknowledge the ongoing trauma of the Federal Indian Boarding School Policies so that we can heal. We are encouraging Native communities, as well as non-Native allies, to hold healing-informed events honoring boarding school survivors and call for accountability of the Federal Indian Boarding School policies.
The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) has long advocated for a Truth Commission on Indian Boarding Schools as the most comprehensive way to investigate, document, and address the impacts of Indian boarding schools. NABS has been working closely with Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s office and tribal organizations to bring forward a bill for a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States.
