“Carlisle’s founder, army officer Richard Henry Pratt, summed up the key to “civilizing” the Indian: “Kill the Indian and save the man.”…Encouraged by his experiences with the Hampton group, Pratt lobbied the federal government to support a federal school at Carlisle, with the goals of assimilating and acculturating Indian children by removing them from their families and communities and submersing them in the white man’s world.”

This is what America wanted to do with it’s Indigenous people. Wake up.
