March 2024 | Repost from Indian Health Services
To acknowledge the history and impact of the boarding school era on Indigenous people and to help initiate healing and wellness related to intergenerational and historical trauma, the IHS partnered with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board to develop the Tribal Boarding School Toolkit for Healing, which is now available: https://www.npaihb.org/tribal-boarding-school-toolkit-for-healing/
The toolkit is an approachable entry for understanding the generational traumatic impacts boarding schools have had on American Indian and Alaska Native individuals, families, and communities. It is meant for individuals who need a place to start their learning about a history that deeply impacts the communities they serve, offering self-guided learning through history, reflection exercises, resources, and activities for the informed care of Native people. #NativeHealth #IndianCountry
