Biden's formal apology marks a significant acknowledgment of the traumatic legacy inflicted upon Native communities through the federal Indian boarding school system.
Survivors of the boarding schools emphasize that this apology, while historic, must be followed by genuine efforts toward reparative justice and policy reforms.
James LaBelle shared that he felt validated by Biden's apology, reflecting the emotional needs of survivors seeking acknowledgment for their experiences.
The apology alone cannot erase the historical trauma; it must lead to actions that support healing and cultural preservation in Indigenous communities.
