President , Joe Biden‘s apology on Friday to Native Americans did n’t go so smoothly.
But the cheerful leader, 81, misread the Gila River Indian Community’s name from his script.
” There’s nothing wrong with me”, he said after stumbling over the words.
Biden therefore appeared to guide former Arizona Rep.  , Gabrielle Giffords, the wife of Sen.  , Mark Kelly , (D-AZ), in the past tense.
Biden’s speech was likewise interrupted by a pro-Palestinian, pro-Gaza , rebel. He urged the audience to “let her talk.”
” There’s a lot of honest people being killed. There’s a lot of honest folks being killed, and it has to stop”, he said.
The actual occurrence was intended to correct the mistakes of the past.
” The federal government has not, not formally apologized for what happened — until today”, Biden told the Native American market. As president of the United States of America, I fully apologize for our actions. I fully apologize, and it’s longer overdue”.
Near , Phoenix, Biden underscored that it has been a century since a sitting senator has traveled to Indian region.
” That’s just far too long”, he said. ” That’s why I’m here now. Not only to serve my claim but, more importantly, to right a bad. to chart a fresh course for all of humanity in order to have a better future.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the second African American to lead the ministry, launched an , investigation , into the , Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative soon after she was confirmed by the Senate. At least 18, 000 American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian kids, some as young as 4 years of age, were taken from their families and enrolled in the establishments from 1819 to the 1970s as part of an effort to integrate them into white culture. About a thousand died, and some experienced physical and emotional misuse, according to Haaland’s information.
” It should be a shame, a chapter that most Americans do n’t know about, the vast majority do n’t even know about”, Biden said Friday, describing it as” a sin on our soul”. ” I think it’s really important that we do know that generations of African children have been taken from them and left with people they have never met who speak a language they have never heard,” he said.
” We’re a great nation”, he added. ” We’re the greatest of nations. We do not remove story. We make story”.
