According to Reyer & Eder (authors of American Indian Education) "in 1867 the United States Congress established the Peace Commision to deal with hostile Indian tribes." Their first step towards making peace with the "Hostiles" was to make a tour across the States to establish the reasons for the hostility. This commission recommended creating a treaty that addressed "the necessity of education" in which they were to build a home for each reservation to have a teacher reside on each reservation within it's community. In chapter 3 of American Indian Education it addresses the education part of what the Peace Commision recommended for Native American Indians; they made Congress aware that Indians needed to be made Legal Citizens so that they may be accepted into accredited colleges. I'm sure the Indian Peace Commision recommended more than this but this book only addresses the Education issues.
