Yes and no. When the Spanish arrived in the new world they brought with them Catholic priests to convert the natives and they forced them to convert. The missions also forced them to give up tribal practices. When the Native Americans were forced onto the reservation system they were often forced to not practice tribal ways. Children were removed from families and placed in government schools. Once there they were not allowed to speak their native language, dress in native dress, nor practice tribal ways. Boys were forced to have their hair cut and when a boy's hair was cut it meant that a parent had died. Many Native Americans hid their traditions and would practice them when they were alone. Many cultures have done this to preserve their culture and to teach the young.
