Native American children were sent to Indian schools primarily as part of a broader policy aimed at assimilation into Euro-American culture. These institutions sought to erase Indigenous identities, languages, and traditions, promoting Western values and lifestyles instead. The underlying belief was that this would "civilize" Native populations and integrate them into mainstream American society. Often, children were forcibly removed from their families and communities, facing harsh conditions and strict discipline in these schools.

Where native American children taken from there homes?

Presuming you mean Were Native American children taken from their homes, the answer is yes. In the continual effort to break the Indian's spirit, children were stolen from their families and sent to schools to learn "how to be civilized." There they were beaten for speaking their own lanquages, forced to wear white man's clothing and had their hair cut. They were taught that being Indian was a bad thing. Later on, and up to the 1980's Indian children were stolen and then adopted (usually, unknowingly) by whites who thought they were adopting Indian orphans.
