Americanizing the American Indians
"During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, American Indian policy was dominated by a small but active group of reformers who wrote and spoke vigorously in favor of acculturating and assimilating the indians. These white Christian reformers, who called themselves 'Friends of the Indian,' were determined to break down the tribal structure, culture, and religion of the Indians-- thus transforming them into American citizens indistinguishable from their white neighbors."--Front book jacket flap
