This episode highlights the incredible Native women at the forefront of the efforts to bring about President Biden’s recent apology for the harm caused by the federal Indian boarding school system.

We sit down with Deb Parker (Tulalip) to uncover the behind-the-scenes journey of this apology, break down its significance, and dive into the Truth and Healing Bill [HR.7227/S.1723]. This bipartisan bill, unanimously approved by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on June 7, 2023, strengthens Tribal sovereignty and centers survivor voices, offering a path toward truth and reconciliation.

✨ Special guest Freddie Lane (Lummi) reflects on his time at Chemawa Indian Boarding School and his reaction to Biden’s historic speech. His heartfelt story reminds us of the countless children who never made it home and the resilience of those who carry their legacy forward.
