"Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas," said Harris.

"We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on Native communities today.".

After citing the statistics of missing Native American women and girls and claiming the voting rights of Native Americans are suppressed, Harris said, "Native Americans are more likely to live in poverty, to be unemployed, and often struggle to get quality healthcare and to find affordable housing.".
