I absolutely believe that a Commission focused on Indian Boarding Schools is needed.

I would also like to thank my dear friends, Senator Warren and the co-chairs of the Congressional Native American Caucus, Representatives Sharice Davids and Tom Cole, for prioritizing legislation to address these policies.

The bottom line is that that trust responsibility is real.

We are wholeheartedly in support and this Administration is in support of language revitalization.

We are committed to working with each and every tribe.
