looks like the department of the interior is already working with tribes to return the bodies of abused native school children to their tribes, and Biden has pledged school support services and cultural revitalization projects.
they have an apology, The government is starting to do work for the tribes, now the tribes need reparations and legal infrastructure to protect their cultures.
I’m pretty excited to see where this goes, I hope that the department of the interior working with the tribes will influence and encourage other government departments to work with tribes concerning other issues they’ve been campaigning about for decades, even up to a century and a half.
it’s such a relief to see the first step, finally.
