President Biden will announce a new national monument to honor the memory of Native American children who suffered in boarding schools, emphasizing the need to acknowledge this tragic past.
"The federal Indian boarding school system, which operated for decades, caused untold suffering for tens of thousands of Native children, with lasting impacts that resonate today."
"About 7,800 children from more than 140 tribes were sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, representing a significant part of the larger boarding school tragedy that needs recognition and remembrance."
"This monument is not just a tribute; it represents a commitment to healing and a promise that we will remember and learn from this painful history."
