Since the opening of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania in 1879, Native American boarding schools have historically played an important role in redefining and discovering Native American identity. During this early border school period, the U.S. government established several schools as foliations under the American Indian Treaties. The first rowing schools for Native American children were run by government-paid religious associations with the goal of saving the only Native American child by making them assimilate to the values ​​and religion of European American views. President Grant himself stated that the single primary goal of the Indian education system was the “ultimate civilization and citizenship” of Native Americans. The Bureau of Indian Affairs would later use this model hypothesis in its own colleges. They wanted to replace Indian culture with primer and hoe. It was believed that children could be recruited into American society by being completely surrounded by an exclusively Christian-English environment. Children were sometimes forced to attend religious service, and certain schools took up more than half of their learning time. children were taken away from their families and often sent thousands of miles away from their families to attend these schools, they were often literally torn from their parents, however not all were forcibly sent, some parents validly sent their children to school often so that their children would have the opportunity to learn and find their place in the new, evolving world. In the words of an Apache Kiowa elder “we are now in the white man's world. Today we have to go that way. Unfortunately many families also sent their children voulentry... half the paper... they decided to remove them. After California passed the racially charged Scots law that banned the use of the Redskins name on public middle and high school teams, then-Governor Arnold Schwarenegger vetoed the bill. Likewise, Congress had passed a resolution following the Mad Horse case declaring that his name could not be used in association with alcohol. The case was invoked and overturned by the federal courts. The exaggerated and inaccurate use of Native American imagery and ethnicity, along with the American system's refusal to disband it, has had a devastating impact on Native American culture and identity. The American Indian Mental Health Association says Native Americans are particularly vulnerable to reconciliation difficulties. their knowledge of the modern world and use of mascots and logos damage identity, self-concept and self-esteem.
