“California must reckon with our dark history,” Newsom said.
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Tuesday apologizing on behalf of the citizens of California for a history of “violence, maltreatment and neglect” against Native Americans.
Newsom is expected to offer an in-person apology during remarks at a blessing ceremony at the site of the future California Indian Heritage Center in West Sacramento. More than 100 tribal leaders from all over the state gathered in Sacramento on Tuesday for an annual meeting. California’s American Indian population declined from about 150,000 to 30,000 between 1846 and 1879, wrote Benjamin Madley, an assistant professor of history at UCLA, inDaniel Salgado, chairman of the Cahuilla Band of Indians, said Newsom’s formal apology is a recognition of a long history of what happened to native people in California.
