New York Gov. Kathy Hochul presented perhaps the strongest worded government apology to date for her state’s role in operating an Indian boarding school from 1875 to 1957.
“Today, on behalf of the State of New York, I apologize to the Seneca Nation of Indians – and the survivors and descendants from all Nations – who attended the Thomas Indian School,” Hochul said. “We cannot change the horrors of the past, but I recommit to the truth, justice, reconciliation, accountability, and healing that are so essential to move forward together.”
