Native American Diplomacy

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, America took on a new tactic of building boarding schools to reeducate Native American children and have them be a part of society. The phrase "Kill the Indian ... Save the Man" was created to encourage the thought of separating the human from the Indian by education. Children were separated from their parents to leave and adopt western clothes, lifestyle, and names. Many of these schools closed in the 1940s due to racism, though many converted into native schools and colleges and some are around today.

Many reservations oversee their own education and now are considered "domestic dependent nations". They are considered nations but do not have rule over themselves and are dependent upon the US. Clarifications over the rights of the Native Americans are still going on today changing jurisdiction over land and rights.
