HARRISBURG (AP) – President Joe Biden designated a national monument at a former Native American boarding school site in Carlisle, Cumberland County, to commemorate the resilience of tribes whose children were forced to attend the school. The White House announced the creation of the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument yesterday as Biden hosted a summit for tribal leaders. Over 900 Native children died at hundreds of government-funded boarding schools under forced assimilation policies. The Carlisle site will be the seventh national monument created by Biden.
