On his first day in the Oval Office, President Joe Biden replaced the former administration’s portrait of President Andrew Jackson — known throughout Indian Country as the “removal president” and the “Indian Killer” because he signed the Indian Removal Act that stole millions of acres of lands from tribes — with one of Benjamin Franklin, marking a symbolic shift for Indian Country.
