As with most schools for Native Americans in the 19th and early 20th Century, the purpose was to try and make the Indian as "American" as possible.Children were taken from their tribes and homes and parents and mixed in with other Indians. Schools forbad any language other than English be used. Hair was cut in the normal "American" styles and both girls and boys had to wear "white clothing" and no "Indian dress." Basic subjects were taught but nothing reflecting the heritage of the Indians attending.
