“Indian boarding schools began in 1860, with the first school being established on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington State. These schools were designed to take Native American youths and mold them into members of "civilized society"; to make them White. The schools taught the basics of education, such as arithmetic, but also taught the students to practice Christianity and that the political structures of the United States were ideal for everyone. The actual goal was to eradicate every ounce of Native cultures.”

“Paul watched him amble into his class-room at the end of the passage, where a burst of applause greeted his arrival. Dumb with terror, he went into his own class-room.
Ten boys sat before him, their hands folded, their eyes bright with expectation.
‘Good morning, sir,’ said the one nearest him.
‘Good morning,’ said Paul.
‘Good morning, sir,’ said the next.
‘Good morning,’ said Paul.
‘Good morning, sir,’ said the next.
‘Oh, shut up,’ said Paul.
At this the boy took out a handkerchief and began to cry quietly.”
