COMPASSIONATE EDUCATION FOR A NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD
Boarding schools for Native children began in 1860. The schools were put in place as a tool to “assimilate” Native tribes into the mainstream “American way of life,” with the end goal to eradicate all that remained of Native culture.
Holbrook Indian School opened its doors in 1946 as a one-building mission school by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through a Seventh-day Adventist perspective, Holbrook students grow in the Creator while also preserving and celebrating their Native culture. Holbrook Indian School is not about killing the Indian. It is about helping students reclaim their identity.
Will you answer the call and make a gift to help provide compassionate Christian education to a student at Holbrook Indian School? Worthy student funds are short due to the pandemic, and a gift helps both Native youth and their family who have been hit hard by the impact of the pandemic.
Because students face many issues regarding mental and physical health, Holbrook practices a slightly different approach than other schools.
