Dear Friend,
Today, on Native American Heritage Day, we take a moment to reflect on the rich history, culture, and contributions of Native Americans. This day is not just about recognition; it's about recommitting to justice and healing the wounds of the past.
As I have outlined in my policy, one of the great tragedies of American history is the failure to embrace the extraordinary cultural and spiritual possibilities offered by Native American culture. Our history is marred by physical and cultural genocide, broken treaties, and unfulfilled promises, leading to widespread injustice and poverty among Native American communities.
In 2021, Native American life expectancy dropped down to 65 years old – so low that it is roughly identical to the life expectancy of the U.S. population in 1944. According to one statistic, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has a male life expectancy of 47 years old – among the lowest in the entire Western Hemisphere.
My administration is dedicated to rebuilding our nation’s relationship with our indigenous people with a focus on genuine atonement and reconciliation. We will support tribal sovereignty, create a task force with tribal leaders to address critical needs, and work towards reparations for the historical injustices committed against indigenous people. We aim to protect Native religious freedoms, ensure representation in government, and strengthen tribal self-governance.
Recognizing the importance of land rights, we will adhere to the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, ensure tribal consent for construction projects on treaty lands, and work towards returning the Black Hills to the Sioux Nation.
On this Native American Heritage Day, let's honor the past and embrace a future where the rights, culture, and dignity of Native Americans are fully acknowledged and respected. Together, we can forge a path of healing and unity.
