Carlisle Indian Industrial SchoolSource 1: Richard Pratt, Founder of the Carlisle Indian School, a boarding school for Native Americans, 1879.A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one. . . . In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only inthis: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man. . . .The Indians under our care remained savage, because [they were] forced back upon themselves and away fromassociation with English-speaking and civilized people, and because of our savage treatment of them. We have nevermade any attempt to civilize them with the idea of taking them into the nation, and all of our policies have been againstcitizenizing... them.It is a great mistake to think that the Indian is born an inevitable savage. He is born a blank, like all the rest of us. Left inthe surroundings of savagery, he grows to possess a savage language, superstition, and life. We, left in thesurroundings of civilization, grow to possess a civilized language, life, and purpose. Transfer the savage-born infant tothe surroundings of civilization, and he will grow to possess a civilized language and habit. . . .The school at Carlisle is an attempt on the part of the government to do this. Carlisle has always planted treason to thetribe and loyalty to the nation at large. It has preached against colonizing Indians [on reservations], and in favor ofindividualizing them. . . . Carlisle fills young Indians with the spirit of loyalty to the stars and stripes, and then movesthem out into our communities to show by their conduct and ability that the Indian is no different from the white or thecolored, that he has the inalienable right to liberty and opportunity that the white and the negro have.
