At least $1.6 million in federal funds for projects meant to capture and digitize stories of the systemic abuse of generations of Indigenous children in boarding schools at the hands of the U.S. government.

The cuts are just a fraction of the grants canceled by the National Endowment for the Humanities in recent weeks .

The National Endowment for the Humanities announced that it was awarding $ 411,000 to more than a dozen tribal nations and organizations working to illustrate the impact of boarding schools.

More than half of those awards have since been terminated.

The grant cuts were documented by the non-profit organization National Humanities Alliance .
