impacts of federal Indian boarding schools and to promote spiritual
and emotional healing in our communities,= a Department of the

difficult conversations.= Also in attendance was Bureau of Indian Affairs
Northwest Regional Director and Grand Ronde Tribal member Bryan
Mercier. <It was an emotional day and very heartfelt,= Harvey said.
