The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has approved a resolution focused on outreach to Native American communities, after acknowledging the church's role in boarding schools. A draft also apologized to Indigenous Catholics. The church operated at least 80 of more than 500 government-funded boarding schools that separated children from their families and suppressed Indigenous cultures.

Also, University of Minnesota students will pay more in tuition next school year as part of a budget approved by the Board of Regents Thursday.

This is the afternoon MPR News update for Friday, hosted by Emily Bright. Theme music by Gary Meister.
