I would like to have an open dialogue about Mission Schools, operated by the
Catholic and Episcopalian Churches. I have several documents stating that
the male children of Chiefs were to be sent to these schools to civilize
them. One of the documents mentions an Indian School located at the College
of William and Mary. I can only imagine how they were treated once they
arrived there, especially since they were considered to be heathens and
savages.
