Biden's upcoming formal apology for the federal government's Native American boarding schools represents a historic moment of recognition for trauma inflicted on Indigenous communities.
The Interior Department earlier this year reported that at least 973 Indigenous children died in boarding schools, underscoring the devastating impact of the government's policies.
Governor Stephen Roe Lewis emphasized that the importance of the apology lies in its honest admission of historical wrongs, offering a pathway towards healing and reconciliation.
The visit to Gila Crossing Community School will be Biden's first since taking office, highlighting a commitment to address historical injustices against Native Americans.
