LIVE: Joe Biden Apologises To 150-year Indian Boarding School Policy | Indigenous Children | USA News | CNBC TV18
US President Joe Biden gives remarks and formally apologizes for the 150-year US policy that forced Indigenous children into abusive boarding schools. Biden’s comments come during a visit to the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona.
President Joe Biden is expected to formally apologise on Friday for the country's role in the Indian boarding school system, which devastated the lives of generations of Indigenous children and their ancestors.
I would never have guessed in a million years that something like this would happen, said Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna. It's a big deal to me. I'm sure it will be a big deal to all of Indian Country.
Shortly after becoming the first Native American to lead the Interior, Haaland launched an investigation into the boarding school system, which found that at least 18,000 children, some as young as 4, were taken from their parents and forced to attend schools that sought to assimilate them, in an effort to dispossess their tribal nations of land.
It also documented nearly 1,000 deaths and 74 gravesites associated with the more than 500 schools.
No president has ever formally apologized for the forced removal of Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children an element of genocide as defined by the United Nations or any other aspect of the US government's decimation of Indigenous peoples.

I sometimes wonder if I would even exist if my grandfather didn't gather the strength to run away from his boarding school.

It's about time a president acknowledges the beautiful Indigenous peoples. We can learn so much by listening and taking better care of Mother earth. Be grateful for the gift this beautiful earth offers each day. Hopefully, the children in SD will be able to go to school with warm clothing.

Thank you, Mr. President! It's long overdue. I wish my mom was here to hear this Apology.
She was lucky enough to get away, although she lived with the memories of the abuse her whole life.
