The Thomas Indian School in nearby Gowanda will be the part of a “Wellbriety Journey of Forgiveness.” The first US government Indian Boarding School was founded in Carlisle, Pa in 1879. Indian children were separated from their parents, denied access to their language, culture and customs, and even worse abuse occurred. The goal of the journey is to promote awareness, dialogue, forgiveness and healing among Native people for the trauma resulting from the Boarding School Era. The Journey will take place from May 16-June 24, 2009. The visit to Thomas Indian School will take place on June 19. For more information visit www.whitebison.org. Spring Cleaning at Duffield
