Indigenous Peoples Day is a day to celebrate the rich culture, history, and contributions of Indigenous peoples while acknowledging the painful history of colonization and assimilation, particularly the legacy of Indian boarding schools in the United States.
This toolkit provides resources and guidance for organizations and individuals to engage their followers and communities in meaningful conversations centered around Indigenous Peoples.

“On this Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the rich cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples. We also reflect on the ongoing impacts of U.S. Indian boarding schools. Join us in recognizing this day with a commitment to learn more about the extraordinary legacies of Indigenous peoples. Together we will create a new healing path forward” -NABS CEO Deborah Parker (Tulalip Tribes)
This Indigenous Peoples Day, consider making a donation to the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition to help support our mission to heal from boarding school trauma.
The truth about the US Indian boarding school policy has largely been written out of the history books. The social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural devastation from boarding school experiences are passed down for Native American individuals, families, communities and Tribal Nations today. The time for healing these intergenerational traumas is now.
