By 1890, the armed rebellion of the Native American tribes was at an end. Well-intentioned white reformers, many of whom organized themselves collectively as "the friends of the Indians," worked to institute a three-step reform program designed "to kill the Indian to save the man." You are familiar from this week's readings with that three-step process: The Dawes Act, designed to split apart the tribes; the Indian Boarding Schools, designed to remove Native American children from their parents and educate them to become "productive Americans," and conversion to Christianity, designed to strip the remnants of Native American spirituality from the remnant tribes. In a thoughtful, well-researched response, explain the results obtained from this reform program. Consider in your response the Saint Leo core value of Respect, and research "whiteness" theory in order to put this reform movement in proper perspective.
