Biden apologizes to Native Americans: I formally apologize for what we did

"A sin that stained our souls", was the historic apology that US President Joe Biden presented today to the indigenous American people, whose children were separated from their families for more than a century by the state to place them in schools with dormitories, where they were mistreated with the aim of forced assimilation.

“The purpose of these boarding schools was to erase Native American culture, language, and identity. Many children suffered physical, psychological or sexual violence there," according to a recent government report.

"I apologize formally, as president of the United States, for what we've done," Joe Biden said from Arizona's Gila River Reservation after holding a moment of silence to honor "the people lost and the generations who live with this." trauma".

These boarding schools existed from the early 19th century until the 1970s, according to the government report.

At least 973 children have died in these facilities.

"Kids came to school...replaced with a number or an English name," the US president said.

"Some were forced into forced labor, some were adopted without the consent of their biological parents, others were left for dead and buried in unmarked graves," he added in an impassioned speech.

"This is one of the most horrific chapters in American history," insisted Joe Biden.

"The pain caused will always be a significant mark of shame, a stain on American history," he emphasized.

The Joe Biden administration has put in place a number of measures to support America's indigenous populations and improve relations with the federal state.
