New Native Circle Podcast Episode Featuring Indigenous Truthtelling of Boarding Schools

On August 26, 2025, I helped to organize a public panel for the 2nd workshop of an ongoing collaboration, “Indigenous Truthtelling of Boarding Schools.” I worked with Brian D. King to edit the recording of the panel with the permission of the panelists for an episode of the Native Circles podcast (see the podcast website). I share the transcript of the episode below, which is accessible on the podcast website. This episode features voices from the panel held at the University of Oklahoma and funded by a NHPRC-Mellon Planning Grant for Collaborative Digital Editions in African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American History and Ethnic Studies. The panelists share their experiences studying Native American boarding schools and discuss plans for a digital edition with scholars at the University of Oklahoma (OU), Oklahoma State University (OSU), Northeastern State University (NSU), Utah State University (USU), and Indigenous communities. The project connects universities and archives with Native Nations and communities to develop educational resources about boarding schools and to expand public access to records, oral histories, and community knowledge, following Indigenous protocol.
