National Day of Remembrance – Indian Boarding Schools

At the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, voting members overwhelmingly adopted a memorial addressing the sin and injustice of Indian Boarding Schools and the enduring trauma these institutions caused Native communities. As part of our church’s public commitment to truth-telling and healing, September 30—or a nearby Sunday—has been set aside as the National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools.
