Despite the trauma and turmoil, Indigenous peoples have persisted and survived. Their stories are testaments to the bravery and resolve of generations to preserve their heritage, cultures, and identities for those to come after them. Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.

Our family therapy programs allow families to get involved in the recovery process, as well as connect with other families to build community along the way. Today, President Biden is issuing the first-ever National Security Memorandum (NSM) on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

A Proclamation on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, 2024
That is why I signed an Executive Order to respect the Nation-to-Nation relationship by ensuring Federal agencies respect the autonomy of tribes, cutting red tape so Tribal leaders can deliver for their communities. At the same time, we are strengthening the Buy Indian Act so that Federal agencies get more goods and services from Native-owned businesses. These initiatives will help grow Tribal economies while respecting Tribal sovereignty and Tribal Nations’ right to build a future on their own terms. On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor Indigenous peoples’ strength, courage, and resilience. We celebrate the vast contributions of Indigenous communities to the world.
