ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Indigenous groups in Albuquerque are continuing to heal from the Indigenous children’s lives that were lost to the Albuquerque Indian School. Saturday, people in the community gathered at an event meant to honor them. This comes just weeks after a plaque marking the burial site for children who died at a Native American boarding school, went missing.

The event at Graves Park created a space for community members to come together to heal. It’s in partnership with the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, ABQ Mutual Aid, the Urban Native Community of Albuquerque, and Fight for Our Lives. Group members say they want to see more conversations being held about these issues.
