John,

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day — a day of remembrance and celebration of
American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians throughout this
country. 

Indigenous people have remained resilient, innovative and invaluable long
before the image of the United States. But for far too long, Indigenous
populations and communities have been underrepresented and undervalued in
our government and economic systems.

The federal policies we have in place today continue to disenfranchise and
displace Indigenous people and eradicate their culture. It's crucial that
we never forget the centuries-long campaign of violence, displacement,
assimilation, and terror brought upon these communities. And our
government has an obligation to invest in the future of Indigenous people.

As we work together to shift our country towards one that values,
empowers, and supports all communities of all colors, religions, races,
and backgrounds, we need to prioritize the reparation and restoration of
our neighboring Indigenous communities. We must be resilient in our fight
for climate action and protecting natural resources, and end the economic
profit-to-pollution pipeline for the health of our shared nation.

Today, we proudly recognize Indigenous people's strength and the positive
impact they have made on every aspect of our country. Today, along with
everyday moving forward, we must reaffirm our commitment to uplifting,
investing, and celebrating Indigenous people and the cultures that make up
our country.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
