“One historian once said that those that don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. We would never want to repeat the sad chapter of history known as the Long Walk. By designating this trail as a national historic trail, we can learn from our mistakes. Inhumane treatment of human beings, atrocities against native peoples, should never occur. The Long Walk National Historic Trail will stand as a monument, reminding us we can do better. We can be a better people. We can be a more compassionate and humane Nation. I would like to thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Radanovich) for his hard work on this and I look forward to working with him through the legislative process to get this done. I thank him very much for his bipartisanship.”
