The President delegates authority to the Secretary of the Army to present two specific Medals of Honor from 1906—awarded to Privates William Simon Harris and James W.

Establishment of the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument
This proclamation designates approximately 24.5 acres at the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania as the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument under the Antiquities Act. It transfers administrative jurisdiction of the School Road Gateposts to the National Park Service while the Army retains control of remaining lands, mandates a management plan within 3 years with Tribal co-stewardship, and permanently withdraws monument lands from development or disposition.
Establishment of the Castner Range National Monument
President Biden used the Antiquities Act to designate approximately 6,672 acres of former military land at Fort Bliss, Texas as the Castner Range National Monument, protecting archaeological sites, rare desert habitat, and geological features. The proclamation withdraws the land from development, mining, and mineral leasing while directing the Secretary of the Army to manage remediation of military munitions, develop a management plan with tribal consultation, and eventually allow public access and recreational use.
