American communities through the establishment of a commission.
The bill seeks to create a Truth and Healing Commission that will be responsible for investigating and documenting the impact of Indian boarding school policies in the United States. These policies, which were implemented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, forcibly removed Native American children from their families and communities and placed them in boarding schools where they were often subjected to abuse, neglect, and forced assimilation.
The commission will be tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of the policies and practices of Indian boarding schools, as well as their long-term effects on Native American communities. It will also be responsible for collecting testimonies from survivors and their families, as well as gathering historical documents and records related to the boarding school system. In addition to its investigative duties, the commission will also be responsible for making recommendations for healing and reconciliation, as well as proposing legislative and policy changes to address the ongoing impact of Indian boarding school policies on Native American communities. Overall, Bill 119 s 761 represents a significant step towards acknowledging and addressing the historical injustices inflicted upon Native American communities through the Indian boarding school system, and towards promoting healing and reconciliation for those affected.
