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.
