Native Bidaské with Chief Ben Barnes

Barnes is a member of The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, who made testimony at the first Road to Healing tour listening session in Anadarko, Oklahoma.
Chief Barnes passionately advocates for truth, accountability, reconciliation, justice, education, and human rights. His work, however, extends beyond service to his nation, bringing together truths and traditions in framing and crafting tribal policy and law. Most recently, Barnes co-edited the book Replanting Cultures: Community-Engaged Scholarship in Indian Country.
