He's really trying to win those votes for his party, only this is about 100 yrs too late!

It would be hard to accept an apology when the damage has been done.

[kinggeorgethest]

hmmm I wonder why he decided to apologize now...a week before an election, in a swing state lmao

[AlvinUselton]

It’s been done before; but this is great theatrics at election season.

[MLampner]

As someone who worked at the Army War College in Carlyle PA, once one of the most notorious of such schools long over due.

To late...apologies not accepted. God is dealing with america and the world for what they have done and are still doing in the world. The world has had their chance to repent and didn't.

Federal government needs to give back their land rights. And any other rights they don't behold

[BackUp-vwjq]

Timing is everything in politics. Didn’t care about them until they needed to look like they care so they are using the indigenous peoples again for their own gain.

[freedomlover]

So why now, why not the other years he was in office, oh that's right, election time

[RobertCastaneda-yfhh]

It doesn't mean nothing, if there is no change.

[Fadeawaysbarbershop]

Native Americans need the same rights as everyone else and then to be left alone.

What our govt did to them and many immigrants, stripping them of their heritage to assimilate and become "American" has always bothered me.
