..."The Department of the Interior is still working on this report — hunting down evidence of old boarding schools, and particularly of burial sites, so that murdered and missing indigenous children might be returned to their families and so the truth of the schools won’t be lost to time.
A bill making its way through the House has the potential to help smooth that process.
It would create a truth and healing commission, modeled after one in Canada.
Derek Kilmer represents Washington’s 6th district, which includes Clallam, Kitsap, Jefferson, and Grays Harbor counties, and part of Mason and Pierce. He is also one of the original co-sponsors of the bill."
