In December 2024, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. issued a proclamation to establish the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument in Pennsylvania. This monument commemorates the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the first Federal off-reservation boarding school for Native children, notorious for its role in forcibly assimilating Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children. The proclamation acknowledges the historical trauma inflicted by the Federal Indian boarding school system and aims to promote healing and reconciliation by preserving the site's history. The monument will be managed jointly by the National Park Service and the U.S. Army, with a focus on ensuring that the story incorporates Tribal perspectives and acknowledges the resilience of Indigenous communities.

The public is invited to submit comments on this draft until 30 days after it is published in the Federal Register.
