National Day of Remembrance, September 30
|
Minnesota Proclamation
Today, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued a proclamation that designates
Friday, September 30, 2022, as a “Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian
Boarding Schools.” The proclamation states that the United States
pursued, embraced, or permitted a policy of forced assimilation of
American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian people for nearly
200 years. The proclamation comes at a crucial moment when Tribal
leaders, elected officials, and boarding school survivors around the
country are calling on Congress to pass the Truth and Healing Commission
on Indian Boarding School Policies Act (S.2907 / HR 5444).
