[1]Bowman for Congress
John,
Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day and we are proud to be taking the time
and space today to remember and celebrate American Indians, Alaska
Natives, and Native Hawaiians throughout the country.
Long before the image of the United States was formed, Indigenous peoples
have remained resilient, innovative, and invaluable. They endured a long
history of violence and discrimination at the hands of our government. And
for too long in the modern era, Indigenous communities and populations
have remained undervalued, underserved, and underrepresented in our
government and social and economic systems.
While there have been many movements and efforts created to uplift and
amplify the calls for change in Indigenous communities, we still maintain
the same decades-old federal policies that continue to disenfranchise and
displace Indigenous populations and their culture.
It is of critical importance that we never forget the centuries-long
campaign of violence, displacement, assimilation, and terror brought upon
these communities. All of us, from the grassroots to the highest level of
our government, have a moral obligation to invest in and support the
future of Indigenous people. This work begins by calling for a shift of
our country’s priorities towards ones that value, empower, and support all
communities of all races, religions, and backgrounds.
We need to prioritize the repatriation and restoration of our neighboring
Indigenous communities. And we need to be impactful in the fight for
climate action and protection of natural resources, and end the economic
profit-to-pollution pipeline for the health of our shared nation.
Today, and every day moving forward, we must reaffirm our commitment to
uplifting, investing in, and celebrating Indigenous people and the
cultures that make up our beautiful country.
In solidarity,
Bowman for Congress
