Last week, the National Endowment for the Humanities, also known as NEH, awarded more than $400,000 to 14 tribal communities to fund projects that recognize the traumatic legacies of federally run boarding schools.

They’re meant to expand the reach of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative, an effort initiated by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to acknowledge the troubled past and impacts of federal boarding school policies upon Indian Country.
