Indian Boarding Schools Background/General Information By: Lauren French, per. 5
. Schooling for American Indian children began in 1878 . Creating Indian boarding schools was the idea of Captain Richard H. Pratt, whose main purpose was to "kill the Indian, not the man." . Wanted American Indian children to completely assimilate into American culture completely . The tactics used are modernly considered to be brainwashing tactics: "These are the same methods that cult leaders use to coerce recruits to commit completely to a new way of thinking." . Children not allowed to see their families . Forbidden to practice their religion, had to memorize bible verses/ Lord's Prayer . Students were taught that the Indian way of life was savage and inferior to other cultures . Students forbidden to speak their own language
"Kill the Indian, Save the Man." Motto of Carlisle Indian Boarding School founded by Capt. Richard Henry Pratt "The only chance of saving any of this race, will be by taking their children, at a very early age, and educating them in our habits, in a situation removed from the contagion of Indian pursuits." William Tudor in Letters on the Eastern States "I remember one evening when we were all lined up in a room and one of the boys said something in Indian to another boy. The man in charge caught him by the shirt and threw him across the room. Later we found out that his collar bone was broken. The boy's father, an old warrior, came to the school. He told the instructor that among his people, children were never punished by striking them." Lone Wolf, Blackfeet "We know that you highly esteem the kind of learning taught at those colleges, and that the Maintenance of our young Men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced, that you mean to do us Good by your Proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you, who are wise must know that different Nations have different Conceptions of things and you will therefore not take it amiss, if our Ideas of this kind of Education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some Experience of it… "We are, however, not the less oblig'd by your kind Offer, tho' we decline accepting it; and, to show our grateful Sense of it, if the Gentlemen of Virginia will send us a Dozen of their Sons, we will take Care of their Education, instruct them in all we know, and make Men of them." Canasatego, Iroquois, on turning down an the offer of the commissioners of Maryland and Virginia to educate Iroquois young men at William and Mary in 1744. http://www.kporterfield.com/aicttw/articles/quotes.html
“**During the first Gulf war a group of native Americans in Oregon wrote an open letter to President George Bush Sr, ridiculing his pretext for attacking Iraq:” "Dear President Bush, Please send your assistance in freeing our small nation from occupation. This foreign force occupied our lands to steal our rich resources ... As in your own words, 'The occupation and overthrow of one small nation is one too many. Yours sincerely, An American Indian." http://www.nativevillage.org/Libraries/Quotes/Native%20American%20Quotes1.htm
