[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4556415, member: 24302"] We did assimilate to some extent. The Federal government forcibly took native children from their parents and put them in Indian schools a long way from home where they got white haircuts, white clothes, taught English and other subjects including religious instruction. The most well known school was probably the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, PA. It's most famous attendee was Jim Thorpe and their football team beat several major universities. In WWII troops were segregated but Indians bunked with white troops. [/QUOTE]
