President Joe Biden plans to issue a historic apology for federal Indian boarding schools that forcibly stripped Native children of their languages and culture over 150 years in a systematic campaign of assimilation.
Biden is planning to issue a formal apology to Native Americans during a visit Friday to the Gila River Indian Reservation near Phoenix, according to federal officials.
The presidential apology fulfills the first of eight recommendations made in the Federal Indian Boarding School Investigative Report, Volume II, released by the Interior Department in June 2024. The 105-page report was penned by Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs Bryan Newland (Bay Mills Indian Community) at the direction of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo), the first ever cabinet secretary in U.S. history.
Bravo Mr. President
