Three Kansas tribes are hosting a wellness conference at Haskell Indian Nations University.

"Wellness Journey 2002" began yesterday and included a forum on boarding school syndrome. Participants recalled some of the negative aspects of voluntary and involuntary schooling, such as physical and mental abuse and loss of culture.

A ceremony was held at the school's cemetery to remember students who died.

The conference runs through Friday.
