- Title
Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience A Landmark Exhibit at the Heard Museum.

- Abstract
Remembering Our Indian School Days was one of the first museum exhibits designed to tell and interpret the stories of boarding schools for Native Americans through the voices, lives, and perspectives of Native people. The exhibit primarily focused on the experiences of American Indians in federally operated, off-reservation boarding schools in the United States. As a historical exhibit, it is particularly striking the exhibit was conceived and mounted by the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, a museum devoted to showcasing Native art. Members of the Heard staff and two advisory committees share details of the planning, implementation, and outcomes of the boarding school exhibit that will reopen in early 2019 as Away From Home: American Indian Boarding School Stories.
