New York’s governor plans to visit the Seneca Nation on Tuesday to formally apologize for the state’s role in running an upstate boarding school that separated Native American students from their families with the goal of assimilating them into American society.

Gov. Kathy Hochul was in Irving, New York to apologize for the "historical atrocities committed" there "and the enduring trauma."

Gov. Hochul visited the Seneca Nation's Cattaraugus Territory in Irving and delivered an apology for the atrocities that happened at the Thomas Indian School.
