Apology to Indigenous Peoples

An apology to Indigenous Peoples is an acknowledgment by governments or institutions of past wrongs, such as colonization, cultural suppression, or harmful policies like residential schools. It expresses regret, takes responsibility, and aims to foster healing and reconciliation. The apology doesn't erase history but recognizes the pain caused and commits to respectful, equitable relationships moving forward. It often includes efforts for restitution, remembrance, and ongoing action to support Indigenous rights and well-being.
