If you are asking about Native American children the government built schools and removed the children from their tribe and families into a boarding school. They were not allowed to speak their native language, do cultural things, or dress as they would in the tribe. Boys braids were cut and they were made to wear suits. The girls were allowed to keep longer hair, but were put into dresses. For the boys the cutting of their hair was a traumatic experience. Usually, their hair didn't get cut until a parent died so many of them thought that a parent was dead. The children stayed in the schools until 18 years old, but by that time they didn't know the ways of their people nor the language and they weren't accepted by white society. They were in a "no man's land." Some committed suicide as a result.
