PHOENIX — President Joe Biden delivered an apology Friday for a United States policy that forcibly separated generations of indigenous children from their families for more than 150 years and sent them to federally backed boarding schools for forced assimilation.
"I formally apologize as president of the United States of America for what we did," Biden said in strident remarks. "It's long overdue."

Good for him & the US. I'm glad this is finally getting some attention (I just assumed this was in canada & I'm surprised it's in the US). I hope Biden makes the most of his last few months to cement his legacy & do as much good as possible.
