National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition

The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) was created in 2012 to develop and implement a national strategy that increases public awareness and cultivates healing for the profound trauma experienced by individuals, families, communities, American Indian and Alaska Native Nations resulting from the U.S. adoption and implementation of the Boarding School Policy of 1869. VISION: Indigenous cultural sovereignty. MISSION: To lead in the pursuit of understanding and addressing the ongoing trauma created by the U.S. Indian Boarding School policy. We are a membership organization comprised of over 100 Native and Non-Native members and organizations committed to boarding school healing. NABS is as a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
