What government policies made places like the carlisle indian school necessary?

The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was an Indian boarding school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania that operated from 1879 to 1918. At that time, it was believed that the only way for American Indians to survive in the new society was for them to be assimilated into mainstream American culture. The school became the model for 26 other Indian Boarding Schools across the country.

The Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th century wanted to achieve progress and development for the nation. Native American people were seen as an obstacle to achieving that modernity. Acquiring lands, restricting cultural and religious practices and sending children to boarding schools were the most common government policies of the period. These practices decreased the Indian population, both in terms of population and in terms of power and autonomy. As their presence decreased, there was even more of a need for boarding schools, as a way to integrate those people who were losing their culture due to assimilation even further.

what is the "did this mean" there is no picture. edit your question with a screenshot.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
