Kathy Hochul has apologized to the Seneca Nation for the atrocities committed at the Thomas Indian School. ❤️‍🩹 In her first official visit to the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (govkathyhochul) formally apologized for the state’s role in operating the former Thomas Indian School, where Indigenous youth were forcibly taken from their families and subjected to assimilation. More than 2,500 children attended the school in upstate New York between 1875 and 1957. It was one of over 400 government-supported Indian boarding schools across the U.S. Share your thoughts with us. 💭⤵️ (via govkathyhochul, apnews) #Seneca #NewYork #KathyHochul #BoardingSchools #Reconciliation
