Today, the U.S. government took a necessary and long overdue step in acknowledging an often dark and painful past with our Indigenous nations. I commend and am grateful for President Biden and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland\u2019s ongoing work to right the wrongs of the past and apologize for the suffering caused by American Indian boarding schools.\n\n\u201cIndigenous peoples have faced systemic violence and discrimination as a result of U.S. policies for generations\u2014yet remain strong and resilient. President Biden\u2019s commitment to addressing these historical injustices is a moral imperative that demands sustained action and collaboration.\n\n\u201cThis apology is a critical step in reconciling with that past while continuing to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice here in the United States.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-stansburys-statement-president-bidens-historic-apology-indigenous-people"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4053219929337502, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
