The "Indian Citizenship Act" (of 1924) also known as "The Snyder Act" (President Calvin Coolage) required Native American Children to be taken from their homes and educated at "Christian Boarding Schools" or go to jail. Indian parents that refused were jailed, beaten and shot. Indian children that refused were jailed, beaten, and shot. Indian children that went, were jailed, beaten, raped, shot and were not allowed to speak their native languages, wear native clothing, follow any religious practice other than "christian," etc. Each of these acts are a violation of the International Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Article II (e)) - 1948. The practice was announced as "ended" in 1965, but still continues today.
