Indian Boarding Schools: Cultural Assimilation and Destruction

RICHARD PRATT -- "KILL THE INDIAN, SAVE THE MAN"
As we have taken into our national family seven millions of Negroes, and as we receive foreigners at the rate of more than five hundred thousand a year, and assimilate them, it would seem that the time may have arrived when we can very properly make at least the attempt to assimilate our two hundred and fifty thousand Indians, using this proven potent line, and see if that will not end this vexed question and remove them from public attention,where they occupy so much more space than they are entitled to either by numbers or worth.
