They knew that the government would break the treaties and they didn't want to assimilate into a world where they still would be discriminated against and treated unequally. When the children went to the schools they were not allowed to speak their language, practice culturally, nor dress in native dress.

The government maintained social control over the Native peoples of the Northwest through a combination of treaties, military force, and assimilation policies. Treaties often led to the cession of lands and resources, while military interventions suppressed resistance and enforced compliance. Additionally, efforts to assimilate Indigenous populations included establishing boarding schools aimed at eradicating native languages and cultures, thereby reinforcing governmental authority and control over these communities.
It is an important object with the President of the ,to promote the civilization of the Choctaw Indians,by the establishment of schools amongst them;and to perpetuate them as a nation by exchanging,for a small part of their land here,a country beyond the Mississippi River, where all who live by hunting and will not work,may be collected and settled together.

One strategy the U.S. government employed to assimilate American Indians after their forced relocation was the establishment of Indian boarding schools. These schools aimed to "civilize" Native American children by removing them from their families and cultures, promoting English language use, and enforcing Euro-American customs and values. The goal was to eradicate Indigenous identities and integrate Native peoples into mainstream American society. This assimilation policy had lasting negative impacts on Native cultures and communities.
To assimilate Native Americans into national life, the U.S. government implemented policies such as the Dawes Act of 1887, which aimed to break up tribal landholdings into individual allotments, promoting private land ownership and agriculture. Additionally, Native American children were often sent to boarding schools where they were prohibited from speaking their native languages and practicing their cultures. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 sought to reverse some assimilation policies by restoring tribal sovereignty, but the earlier efforts had lasting impacts on Native American identity and culture.
The chief characteristics of high schools in the 20th century included a focus on comprehensive education, emphasizing both academic and vocational training to prepare students for diverse futures. Important developments included the expansion of curriculum offerings, the introduction of standardized testing, and a shift towards inclusivity with increased access for marginalized groups. Additionally, the rise of technology in the latter part of the century began to reshape teaching methods and learning environments. Overall, high schools evolved to meet the changing social, economic, and cultural needs of society.

They became the centers for the Americanzation process
Residential schools were started as part of the Canadian government's assimilation policy to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children into Western culture by removing them from their families, communities, and cultural practices. The goal was to eradicate Indigenous languages, cultures, and traditions in an attempt to assimilate Indigenous peoples into mainstream society.
Residential schools were located across Canada, primarily on reserves and in rural areas. The schools were often operated by churches and the government as part of a policy to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture.
The Spring Independent School District in the US includes 26 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 5 high schools. In total, there are 38 schools included.
Subjects taught in residential schools often included basic academic subjects like reading, writing, and arithmetic; vocational training in trades like farming or domestic work; religious education; and cultural assimilation practices aimed at erasing Indigenous languages and traditions. These schools were designed to strip Indigenous children of their identity and culture in order to assimilate them into Euro-Canadian society.
