Boren Authors Native American Apology

Congressman Dan Boren has introduced legislation in the House of Representatives to proclaim an official apology from the United States Government to Native American peoples.

The legislation, H. J. Resolution 46, would commend and honor Native Peoples for "the thousands of years they have stewarded and protected this land, and acknowledge years of official depredations, ill-conceived policies, and the breaking of covenants by the Federal Government regarding Indian tribes," a statement from Boren's office said.
