Overview
President Biden has designated the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School in Pennsylvania as a national monument to commemorate the forced assimilation of Native American children from 19th and 20th centuries. Approximately 7,800 children from over 140 tribes were taken to this school. Biden stressed the need to recognize this dark chapter in American history to prevent its recurrence. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland noted ongoing initiatives to return the remains of deceased children and promote Indigenous languages and culture, reinforcing the administration's commitment to addressing historical injustices.
