Native American Boarding Schools Summary

Reflections on The Native American Boarding Schools, the National Government decided that Native Americans will be assimilating into white American culture. The intent existed to turn Native Americans Indians to imitate white men in a liberal civilizing mission. The government wanted the Native Americans to learn English and be domestic.
In 1875, Captain Pratt decided to take a group of Indians, suspected of murdering white settlers and put them in a boarding school. Pratt moved the Native Americans to Fort Marion in St. Augustine Florida. When they arrived, Captain Pratt started a humanist experiment that went array.

I believe it shows interesting history about how other cultures not just Native Americans, has been forced to become Americanized.
