The Apology

In 2009, President Obama signed a Congressional apology to acknowledge the damages, wrongs, and broken covenants by the United States inflicted upon the Native American people. However, that apology was never publicly acknowledged, disappointing and hurtful to the Native American People. Now, Dr. Negiel Bigpond and Ambassador Sam Brownback, who crafted the original legislation, are creating a movement to encourage the White House to publicly and formally acknowledge this apology. In the first of three episodes, The Apology examines the history of the injustices committed against the Native American people and the written apology that has yet to be publicly spoken. We hope you’ll join this movement by signing our appeal to the White House at TheApologyNow.com.
