What is Carlisle Indian School and Assimilation about?

Non-reservation boarding schools aimed to assimilate Native American children into white American culture by forcibly educating them in English, Christianity, and vocational skills. The schools were underfunded and overcrowded, and the children faced abuse and trauma from being separated from their families and cultures. A 1928 report found issues with the schools and recommended allowing children to attend local schools near home.
