Biden Establishes National Monument Honoring Indian Boarding School Legacy
President Biden announced the creation of a new national monument to commemorate the legacy of Indian boarding schools, where thousands of Native American children were sent for assimilation. The monument will be located at the former site of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, a model for the federal boarding school system. This announcement follows Biden's formal apology for the schools' role in American history, highlighting their impact on Native communities.
