This bill creates a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies within the legislative branch to investigate the historical impacts of the federal removal and placement of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children in boarding schools. The commission must identify unmarked graves, facilitate the repatriation of remains to tribal nations, and develop recommendations to prevent the modern removal of Native children from their communities by social service and adoption agencies. Introduced by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the legislation has been reported by the Committee on Indian Affairs and placed on the Senate calendar for consideration.
