Stansbury’s Statement on President Biden’s Historic Apology to Indigenous People | 2024-10-25 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Democrat | House | NM | Melanie A. Stansbury | S001218 | stansbury.house.gov | stansbury | https://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | ALBUQUERQUE — U.S. Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) released the following statement after President Joe Biden’s historic apology to Indigenous people for the federal government’s Indian Boarding School Policies: “Indigenous history is American history. 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’s ongoing work to right the wrongs of the past and apologize for the suffering caused by American Indian boarding schools. “Indigenous peoples have faced systemic violence and discrimination as a result of U.S. policies for generations—yet remain strong and resilient. President Biden’s commitment to addressing these historical injustices is a moral imperative that demands sustained action and collaboration. “This 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.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
