4 organizations (the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, the Native American Rights Fund, the National Congress of American Indians, and International Indian Treaty Council) are requesting information from Native American communities across the U.S. regarding children who were sent to boarding schools but never returned home. The goal is to gather as much information and compel the federal government to release the records of the schools and the children who attended them to their descendants.
