- 2026-02-03 — Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act of 2026: cross-connection with indian-boarding-school-truth-healing-commission: Both address federal responses to Native child welfare — the Commission would investigate historical and ongoing removals of Native children by state agencies while the set-aside funds tribal child welfare services intended to keep children within tribal communities.
