Settler schooling functioned deliberately as deculturalization of native peoples

Evidence

But removing the Indigenous People from their land was not sufficient to ensure that the tribes would stay quiet. Whites were determined to “civilize” them, which would require them to accept the dominant white culture and give up their own—a process historian Joel Spring (1994b) calls “deculturalization.” — Rebecca A. Martusewicz, Jeff Edmundson, and John Lupinacci, EcoJustice Education, 1197
