Dear Relatives,

We invite you to join us for an upcoming NABS Research Webinar that centers truth, healing, and remembrance.

This powerful event, "Remembering the Children, In Their Memory, In Our Voice," will include a discussion on the history and lasting legacy of the Rapid City Indian School, a former U.S. Indian boarding school whose impact continues to be felt today.
