Native American Apology Resolution

The Native American Apology Resolution is a formal statement by the U.S. Congress, passed in 1993, acknowledging that past U.S. government actions caused harm to Native American tribes through policies like forced removal, cultural suppression, and broken treaties. While it does not provide specific reparations, it recognizes these injustices, offering an official apology and expressing regret. This resolution aims to acknowledge history, promote reconciliation, and encourage efforts to improve relationships and support Native communities.
