Event Description

The ELCA’s Truth & Healing Movement invites you to attend an important presentation about the Truth-seeking and Truth-telling Initiative on Indian Boarding Schools. Over 400 Indian boarding schools were in operation between 1819 and 1969; more than half were affiliated with or supported by religious entities, including Lutheran ones.

Come to this session on Tuesday, September 24, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. to hear from leaders in this work. What have they found? What are they doing with the ELCA Archives? What are we learning about our ancestors who ran a Lutheran Indian boarding school in Wisconsin? How do we educate and engage others in our congregations and synods for this truth-seeking and truth-telling work toward healing, for Native Americans and for us all?
