I think this bill is an important step towards acknowledging and addressing the dark history of Indian boarding schools in the United States. It is crucial that we shine a light on the injustices that were committed against Native American children in these institutions. By establishing this commission, we can begin the process of truth and healing for those who were affected by these policies. While there may be some challenges in implementing this bill, I believe that the long-term benefits of seeking truth and reconciliation outweigh any potential obstacles. In the short term, this bill may bring up difficult emotions and conversations, but ultimately, it is necessary for us to confront our past in order to move forward as a nation.
