this is a something that carrie says, she is reffering to the quote by Richard Henry Pratt.
thanks i could have read that off the sheet.. i mean the significance
it means to kill the indian influence and to insert a new white man way of living
I think many people back in the day stereotyped native americans, or Indians, as savages and untamed killers. I think it meant to reform, civilize and westernize the savage indian that they assumed native americans to be.
it means they are trying to kill everything relating to their culture without actual killing the man. They want them to become americans from the way they think to the way they dress and act.
It's the idea that Americans can make the Indians more like themselves. They believe that they can assimilate them into being more white and American like but not actually kill them. It is Richard Henry Pratt's motto to make all Indians practice the American culture.
it means to get rid of the indian culture and heritage and start making the man a white american man
i think it means to change the Native American Indian into a white American man. Richard Henry Pratt thinks that the white man is more superior to the Native Americans and their culture. He wants to take their culture and all their beliefs away from them and make them into what he sees and more civilized.
you did not write who said this but i think you are referring to Carrie's comment about that. what i think she is saying is that now she wonders if what they have done is right because they have in fact killed the indian and saved the white man. not the white man of the indian but themselves, wheritt, carrie, and gregory.
Carrie says this in refernce to John Pai. She's asking if the Kiowa Boarding School was successful in teaching John Pai. Pratt's quote basically means that he wants to strip the Native Americans of their culture. He doesn't want to kill them because he wants to try to convert them all to Christianity to "civilize" them.
i agree with jack in that it means to pursuade indians to let go of their indian culture and beliefs and turn them into people who believe in the ways and cultures of the white people.
