Denver Indian Center, Inc. (DICI) is proud to announce a partnership with the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) to host a week-long Oral History Project from February 23-27, 2026 at the Denver Indian Center. 

​

NABS, a leading national organization, advocates for Native peoples impacted by U.S. Indian boarding school policies. Through education, research, advocacy, and traditional gatherings, NABS seeks truth, pursues justice, and promotes healing for Native communities. During this special initiative, NABS will collaborate with local elders from the Denver Metro area and members of DICI's Elder's Program to document and preserve oral histories. The project provides a dedicated space for storytelling, cultural sharing, and community healing, ensuring the voices and experiences of Native elders are honored and preserved for future generations. 

​

Both DICI and NABS invite community members, researchers, and media representatives to witness this important work and engage with the wisdom of Native elders. This collaboration highlights the organizations' shared commitment to uplifting Native voices and fostering healing, education, and cultural preservation. 

​

Please Note: Participation, conversations, recordings, or media coverage will be subject to the discretion of DICI's Communications Staff and NABS Oral History participants. Please reach out to the contact listed below for inquiries.
