President Joe Biden begins his apology to Arizona’s Gila River Indian Community by saying: “This, to me, is one of the most consequential things I’ve ever had an opportunity to do in my whole career as president of the United States.”

He says he’s here to deliver on that promise – of being the first president to visit – but also to “right a wrong” and “to chart a new path toward a better future”.

Thousands of Native American children were taken from their homes between the 19th century and early 20th century and forced to attend federal boarding schools meant to assimilate them.

“It’s a sin on our soul,” Biden says, calling for a moment’s silence.
