Since our founding, the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) mission is to support Native American boarding school survivors, descendants, and communities impacted by the federal Indian boarding school system.
The Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) is proud to welcome Nikki Santos (Coeur d’Alene Tribe) as our new Chief Executive Officer.
With nearly two decades of leadership advancing Native priorities through policy, philanthropy, strategic development, fundraising, and community organizing, Nikki brings a deep commitment to Indigenous communities and the work of truth, justice, and healing.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we are invited into a moment of reflection on what has been celebrated and what has been carried in silence.
For Indigenous communities, this history cannot be separated from the policies and systems that shaped this nation, including the forced removal of Native peoples, disruption of communities, and Indian boarding schools created to erase Native languages, cultures, & identities.
We are grateful to our boarding school relatives who joined us in Billings, MT for the 20th stop of our oral history project.
