President Biden will formally apologize for the U.S. government's Indian boarding school system, acknowledging the forced removal and abuse of Indigenous children. This historic gesture aims to validate survivors' experiences and promote healing. Alongside the apology, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has conducted investigations revealing nearly 1,000 deaths linked to these institutions, urging the establishment of a national memorial and ongoing actions for Indigenous rights. The apology occurs just weeks before the presidential election, reflecting increased focus on Native American issues amid broader historical reconciliation efforts.
