No. The children of Native Americans were put in government schools to have them become "White", but the process was cruel and abusive. They were taken to the boarding school and made to dress in clothing that was considered "white" and not allowed to speak in their native language. The boys had their hair cut which was emotionally abusing ( hair is only cut when a parent dies). By the time the children were allowed to return home they didn't know tribal traditions, how to speak their native language, and weren't accepted by the tribe, but they weren't accepted by the white people either. They were basically in a no man's land and no one wanted them. Some took their lives.
