At March 2024’s Spring Lobby Weekend, hundreds of young people from across the country gathered with FCNL to lobby for the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act. While learning about the trauma inflicted by the schools and how it has affected Native communities over generations, FCNL also grappled with the legacy of Quakers who supported the system by operating 30 such schools.
Living out our testimony calls for a moral reckoning of our past harm. April’s Quaker Changemaker Event will feature a conversation with Quaker activists Buffy Curtis and Liseli Haines on the Truth and Healing Commission, and how non-indigenous Quakers approach truth and healing with Native American advocates. How has faith led Quakers to act on this issue, what have they experienced and learned along the way, and how can we avoid the mistakes of the past in our current advocacy?
