Biden designates national monument at site of notorious Native American boarding school

President Joe Biden has designated a new national monument at the site of the former St. Elizabeth's Indian Boarding School in Michigan, marking a significant acknowledgment of the historical trauma inflicted on Native American children. This site, operational from 1898 to 1934, was one of many boarding schools where Native children were forcibly assimilated into American culture, often facing abuse and neglect. The monument, named the "Grand Portage National Monument," aims to honor the survivors and educate the public about this dark chapter in U.S. history. The designation was made during a visit to the area, highlighting Biden's commitment to addressing historical injustices against Native Americans. This action also aligns with broader efforts to recognize and reconcile with the past treatment of Indigenous peoples, including the recent discovery of unmarked graves at similar institutions across the country.
