In May 2009, the White Bison Inc. did the Journey for Forgiveness starting at the Chemawa Indian Boarding School, which had just celebrated its 130 year history, going through the USA to 25 boarding schools doing ceremonies and giving elders who were survivors of these various schools a chance to speak up about what happened to them while in them, and ended up at Carlisle boarding school, the place where it all began. The Journey then went to the Native Amerian Indian Museum in Washington, DC where the closing ceremony was performed, and a petition was given to President Obama asking for a formal apology for the governments role in the genocidal policies of the Boarding school
