President Joe Biden has created a new national monument on the grounds of a former Indian boarding school in Pennsylvania, which served as the blueprint for hundreds of similar institutions across ...

It shows that there are 637 Indian boys and girls at the school, and the Apache Indians constitute the largest element of any one tribe. The school is in a flourishing condition.

The founder of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Capt. Richard Pratt, believed that Native children should be stripped of their Indigenous culture and assimilated into White American culture.

A family descendant of an American Indian children buried at the Carlisle Indian School says returning the remains of ancestors would complete the circle of life.

Three American Indian children, buried for more than a century at the Carlisle Barracks, have been returned to their families.

Biden formally declared the monument at the Pennsylvania site of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which was established in 1879 as the first such school outside a Native American reservation.

At least 189 students were buried at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School’s cemetery, according to the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center at nearby Dickinson College.
