In this event, Paula Palmer, Gail Melix, and Andrew Grant will present findings of Paula’s research into Quaker support for Indigenous boarding schools to help bring some of that truth to light. The presentation will include readings directly from the Quaker teachers themselves and the Native students and other Native people who wrote about their experiences in these Quaker Indigenous boarding schools, followed by an opportunity to explore these queries in facilitated small groups.
