Our Indians and the path to civilized life for tribes
Hon Hoke Smith outlines federal aims to civilize tribes through schooling. He describes three Indian school types, notes Carlisle as a flagship non reservation boarding school with 750 students, and emphasizes teaching English and trades to prepare Indians for self support. He contrasts blanket Indians with those adopting modern clothing and customs and discusses missionary work and white observers’ motives.
