President Biden is set to express regret over a longstanding US policy that has led to the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families and their placement in boarding schools, a practice that lasted for over 150 years.

This policy aimed to assimilate Native American children into Euro-American culture and has left deep emotional and cultural scars within Indigenous communities.

The apology will acknowledge the trauma inflicted upon generations of children who experienced neglect, abuse, and the loss of their languages and cultures in these institutions.

The move is part of a broader initiative to reconcile with Indigenous peoples and address the historical injustices they have faced.

Such actions align with the growing recognition of the need for healing and reparations in light of this painful chapter in American history.

The announcement of the apology is expected to be made during an event in the Gila River Indian Community, highlighting the importance of this acknowledgment to Indigenous leaders and communities across the nation.

As the country moves towards offering reparative measures and fostering relationships based on respect and understanding, the President’s statement will mark a significant step in the journey towards healing and justice for Indigenous populations.
