The worse thing to try to accomplish this was to remove the children from tribes and put them in government schools until they were 21. They were forced to abandon tribal cultures, language, and dress. The boy's hair was cut which for them was an emotional trial because the hair was only cut on the death of a parent. When they were finally allowed to leave they weren't accepted by the white society nor by the tribes they were from. This was probably the cruelest part of all that they really had no place to go.
