The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has postponed its Oral History Project site visit to New Mexico due to the recent federal government shutdown and a Federal Aviation Administration emergency order that caused widespread flight cancellations and delays.
The visit, originally scheduled for Nov. 17–21, 2025, has been rescheduled for Jan. 26–30, 2026, the organization said.
“While we had been looking forward to connecting with our New Mexico relatives, the current circumstances have made it necessary to adjust our plans,” NABS said in its announcement. “Safety and care is of utmost concern for our survivors and team, and we want to ensure that all involved are taken care of.”
The event will take place at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa in Santa Ana Pueblo, N.M. Interviews are available by appointment for survivors who attended a federally supported Indian boarding school in the United States by 1970. Limited slots are available, and early scheduling is encouraged.
For registration, visit the online form or call 651-650-4445. Additional updates will be posted on NABS’ website and social media channels.
The Oral History Project will conclude its 2025 travels in Arizona. More information is available at the NABS website or by contacting [email protected].

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
