Each year, the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference observes the National Day of Remembrance for Boarding School Days in different regions. This year, the observance will take place in the Southeast region of the OIMC. This gathering will offer a time of reflection on the historical trauma caused by Indian Boarding Schools and the ongoing impact on Indigenous communities. We invite you to join us in coming together to honor the victims and survivors, standing in solidarity with their stories.
The remembrance service will feature reflections from boarding school survivors, remarks from Tribal leaders, a children’s choir, and more.
The service will take place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Grace Indian United Methodist Church, 720 Burger Road, Hartshorne, OK 74547.
A meal will be served afterward.
