AI Summary
This bill establishes the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States. The Commission will investigate the histories, policies, and long-term effects of Indian boarding schools on Native American peoples, develop recommendations for federal efforts based on its findings, and promote healing for survivors, descendants, and communities. The bill also creates advisory committees to provide guidance and coordinate with the Commission. It requires the Commission to publish initial and final reports detailing its findings and recommendations, and directs federal agencies to respond to the final report. The bill also clarifies the applicability of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act to cultural items related to Indian boarding schools, allows for reburials on federal land, and permits co-stewardship agreements for the management of cemeteries or boarding schools.
